In celebration of the 250th birthday of our nation, the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion will host a special novena dedicated to praying for the United States, seeking Our Lady’s intercession for unity, holiness, and renewal across our land.

As part of this historic observance, the Shrine will present a first-of-its-kind Carlo Acutis-inspired exhibit honoring the holy men and women of America Saints, Blesseds, Venerables, and Servants of God who have shaped our faith and serve as powerful examples of Christian virtue.

• American Saints Exhibit highlighting each individual’s life, virtues, and legacy

• Speakers & Guilds to learn more about the Causes

• Novena for Our Nation pray for our country

• Relics of multiple American Saints and Blesseds made available for veneration

This spiritual initiative invites all pilgrims to join in prayer for our country, to draw inspiration from those who have gone before us, and to renew our commitment to living lives of holiness. Igniting a new generation of saints for America.
