Welcome to the Shrine of Our Lady of Martyrs
Auriesville, NY • National Shrine of North American Martyrs • Birthplace of Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha
- Welcome Back!
The Shrine's 127th year has begun. The renewal of spring coincides with many other 're's that the Shrine staff implemented during our off season. Revamped, reformed, restructured, replanted, redesigned are a few of the transformative words that come to mind.
~ The Shrine Staff
We invite you to take a look at new gift items and food choices in the Visitor Center, new exhibits in the museums, and a new music ministry. Some events have been added to the schedule with an active North American Martyrs Society, and Kateri's canonization celebration. Go to the links on the left of the home page for more information.
But most especially, we welcome you to Holy Mass and the celebration of the Eucharist - the source, center, and summit of our faith.
We trust that you will be inspired and spiritually fed here, as always, through the intercession of the holy souls of Auriesville, the blessings of Our Lady, and the sacramental grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
We anticipate a happy and holy season with many new and returning pilgrims, and we are glad that you are among them!
