Why pilgrims come

A sacred place worth the journey.

A national Catholic shrine whose Tuesday novenas draw Catholics and visitors of other faiths to St. Anthony of Padua. The church was attacked on Easter Sunday 2019. Its page unites living devotion, responsible memorial language, and pilgrimage rather than presenting unverified miracle stories as adjudicated facts.
