Why pilgrims come
Discover what makes Archdiocesan Shrine of La Divina Pastora at Santa Rosa a place of pilgrimage
The Santa Rosa shrine houses the image carried into Barquisimeto each January in one of Latin America’s largest Marian processions. The Archdiocese elevated the church as a shrine in 2018. Its significance is the documented living pilgrimage and local Marian devotion, not a claimed apparition.

Editorial standard
This page records the site’s tradition as “Catholic.” That wording describes the nature of the claim and keeps devotional tradition distinct from independently verified history.
