Process


For a church to receive the status of a national shrine involves a number of steps and certifications. It must first be designated as a diocesan (or archdiocesan) shrine, an honor conferred by the local bishop or archbishop.[2] To be designated as a diocesan shrine, the subject church must be a place "to which numerous members of the faithful make pilgrimage for a special reason of piety."[1] It must exceed other churches in terms of worship, Christian formation, and social services.[2] When these requirements are met, the parish petitions the bishop to canonically elevate the church.[2]


When devotion has grown, the diocesan shrine may petition the national Conference of Catholic Bishops. Evaluation by the nation's bishops involves considerations including canon law, liturgy, and doctrine.[2]


Declaration of an international shrine is conferred by the Holy See.[3]
