Winter Season Hours

Season runs from Thanksgiving Monday to the first Saturday in May.

Please note that church and pastoral services will not operate during these months with the exception of certain special events (i.e., First Light) as the Jesuit fathers focus on their missionary work elsewhere in the region. This expanded season is mostly opened to support the Shrine Shoppes and to allow our visitors to connect with the Shrine in new and powerful ways. Be advised that partial or full site closures may be prompted without notice due to inclement weather.
