Beginning Monday November 2nd, our Daily Noon Masses from Monday through Saturday will be moved inside to our Chapel! Masks and Social distancing will still be observed as we move into the Chapel for the foreseeable future. This also means that confessions will still be heard starting at 11:00am but now will be in the conference just up from the Chapel. Sunday Noon Mass will still be held Outside due to the number of attendees until the end of November when we will begin to celebrate Sunday Masses in a tent on the front lawn to protect from the weather and still accommodate as many people as possible. For more information please call the Front Office at 410-531-2800.
This year on Saturday October 31st, the Shrine will be holding a Drive Thru Night with the Saints! Our normal program won’t be possible this year but we still want to remember some of the great Saints the Lord has given us! On Friday, October 30th, a video will be featured on the Front Page of our website of the Saints telling their stories to your children before you arrive. Then on October 31st, following a 5:00pm Outdoor Vigil Mass, from 6:00pm to 7:30pm, those same saints will be positioned at different locations along the driveway of the Shrine. A quick stop to say hello and receive candy from the Saints at each location and then you are on your merry way! Your children can, of course, come dressed as their favorite saints. All candy will be wrapped and the distributers will be wearing masks and gloves. We hope to still keep the “Hallowed” in Halloween this year! For more information, please call our Front Office at 410-531-2800. Peace and All Blessings!

On Monday September 21st, the Shrine is returning its outdoor public Masses to the normal time of 12 Noon Sunday through Friday! Our previous time of 10:00am was to make use of the shade and to beat the summer heat, but now that the weather has started changing, we will return to Noon Mass as was our practice before Covid-19. Confessions will then begin at 11:00am Monday through Friday and Tuesday Adoration will begin at 11:00am also. For more information please call our Front Office at 410-531-2800.
We are excited to re-open our Chapel for public worship once again!

We are overjoyed to have pilgrims back in our Chapel for prayer but please keep in mind some changes that will be present due to Covid-19 concerns. Masks must be worn at all times, there will be limited seating present, and the traditional choir stalls will not be in use. A volunteer will be on hand to help sanitize your seating after you are done praying and will also help to manage the flow of other pilgrims in and out of the Chapel. Bathroom facilities will also not be available during this time. We hope to see you soon!
