Personal veneration is available in the Chapel during the hour before the 11:30 a.m. Mass, offering quiet time for prayer and reflection.

St. Paul the Apostle’s feast day is on June 29. In honor of his life and witness, the National Shrine will bring his relic from the Apparition Oratory to the Apparition Chapel for veneration that day.

All are welcome to attend and pray with this great Apostle on his Feast Day!

St. Paul was a tireless missionary and one of the most influential leaders of the early Church. After his dramatic conversion to Christ, he devoted his life to preaching the Gospel throughout the Roman world and strengthening Christian communities. His letters form an important part of the New Testament and continue to guide the Church today.
