The Shrine is Currently Closed 

We pray that you and your loved ones are doing well despite the challenging pandemic related circumstances. As you may have seen, Cardinal Cupich recently shared a multi-phased plan for reopening Worship opportunities in the Archdiocese of Chicago. The following phases pertain to the Shrine:

• Phase 1A allows the Shrine to reopen for private prayer with a limit of 10 attendees.

• Phase II allows for Masses with larger groups depending on official guidelines from the State and the capacity of the Shrine.
