Catholic Shrines, Pilgrimage Sites & Places of Interest in the United States
Although the United States is a fairly young country compared to many others, it abounds with Catholic shrines and places of interest to Catholics. The history of the Catholic Church in the U.S.A. has not always been an easy one.
Although many who settled here came for religious freedom, this did not always apply to Catholics. In fact, as immigrants from such countries as Ireland and Italy (with largely Catholic populations) came in the late 19th Century, anti-Catholicism arose in certain parts of the country, stoked on by such groups as the Ku Klux Klan and some Protestant pastors. Church-burnings and intimidation took place, and many newspaper cartoons portrayed Catholics as agents of the devil.
The Irish (predominantly Catholic), for example, they were branded as shiftless drunkards and advertisements were known to include the words “No Irish Need Apply“. The Italian, Czechs and Polish (most of whom were also Catholics) were also greeted with hostility.
Despite these obstacles, Catholicism grew in the country and today it accounts for roughly 25% of the population.
Almost every state (plus the territories of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) has something to appeal to Catholic vacationers and pilgrims alike. If you are traveling and looking for a place to visit or attend Mass then check one of these out. In addition many of the shrines offer pilgrimages and retreats.

St. Andrew in Roanoke, Virginia should be on your list. I wonder why it isn’t
Dear John,
Thank you for your suggestion….we were not aware of this parish and its rich history. We will add a page to our site.
It was added…thanks for the suggestion.
Please add St. Mary Basilica in Natchez, Mississippi. It is a beautiful minor basilica and one of the oldest churches in the south.
Dear Rebecca,
Thank you for your suggestion, it is a beautiful Basilica. Unfortunately the Basilica is closed for renovation at the time. We will contact them to see how long that will be the case.
I believe that St Mary has now reopened.
Thanks for the comments…..Which St Mary’s?
Asheville NC has St Lawrence Basilica. Super beautiful place. You must add this site! Daily tours, Mass, Adoration.
Thanks so much for letting us know about this magnificent Basilica! We have added a page to our site that will offer more information.
Thank you for creating this list. It is a great tool to use while planning vacations!
Another shrine that you could add for South Dakota is the Fatima Family Shrine in Alexandria, SD. Also, there is a retreat center just outside of Irene, SD, called Broom Tree. It is a really neat place to visit, especially if you’re able to go at a time of year that you could walk around the grounds.
Thanks for telling us about this Shrine…we will add it to our website. And thanks for the compliments…we hope everyone will find it useful.
I didn’t see The Basilica of Our Lady of Fatima,in Younstown, NY nor St Anne’s Shrine in Fiskdale MA listed.
As far as the Fatima shrine is concerned it it is listed here, but their physical address is Lewiston, New York as shown on their own website.
We were not aware of the St.Anne Shrine….thanks for bringing it to our attention. We will get it listed as soon as possible.
