Due to directives from the USCCB concerning National Shrines, all Liturgies will be regulated, and under the direction of Pastor/Rector of the Shrine

To help us coordinate your group's visit, any visiting priest who wishes to celebrate Mass at the Shrine must provide a Letter of Good Standing from their diocese to the Diocese of Gaylord before the visit. This letter confirms that the priest is authorized and in good standing to minister. Please contact the Diocese of Gaylord for guidance and submission requirements.
