The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin, faithful to the message of the Blessed Virgin Mary through her appearances on the American continent in 1531, serves the spiritual needs of those who suffer poverty in body and soul. It is a place of ceaseless prayer for the corporal and spiritual welfare of God's children, especially those in most need. The Shrine pays homage to the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of America, Star of the New Evangelization and Patroness of the Unborn.
Here the Mother of God, as she always does, leads us to her Son Jesus Christ. She shows us the immeasurable mercy of God by bringing us to her Son, that we might receive from Him the gift of God’s truth and love.
The Shrine is a privileged place of sacramental encounter with Christ and of thanksgiving for God's many blessings, offers solace and strength to the physically and spiritually afflicted, educates adult Catholics in their faith and its practice, and applies to daily life the teachings and guidance of the Catholic Church, especially through the words of Our Holy Father.
