The Catholic National Shrine of Our Lady is a place of great tranquility and history.  It has been a place of prayer and pilgrimage for centuries and relies on the generosity of its pilgrims to maintain and develop its facilities.  One way that you can help preserve the Shrine for future generations is to remember the Shrine in your Will.
