Why pilgrims come

A sacred place worth the journey.

The Croatian Catholic national shrine of St. Joseph, designated by the bishops in 1987. March 19, the nine Wednesdays of preparation, confession, Stations of the Cross, and its pilgrim house make this a living devotional center rather than a heritage-only stop.
