A Place of Ceaseless Prayer

The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe is a place where you can raise your heart and mind to God - a call to prayer and devotion that prepare us to encounter God more personally.

I thank our Lord, Jesus Christ, and God, Our Father, for this wonderful gift I have received. I thank God everyday for this wonderful gift. I thank Cardinal Burke and all the people who had he vision of this shrine and built it. I thank all who work and volunteer at the Shrine. I thank all the people who continue to support it through prayer and financial support.

The Shrine is amazing. It is like going to a European cathedral but even better because it is surrounded by the beauty of the La Crosse area. I am not Catholic but it is a very solemn and reverent place. No matter what your faith is you will feel the power of our Creator!

What a beautiful place to glorify God! This was my first visit to the Shrine. We attended Mass, took a guided tour, and admired the sights to see at the Shrine. Seeing the first-class relics was and is a great reminder of our achievable call to sanctity through God’s Grace…
