National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception

USCIS 100:10. What is freedom of religion?




The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception located in Washington, D.C., honors Mary, the mother of Jesus, as Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, the Patroness of the United States and celebrates the diversity of the American Catholicism. (take a virtual tour)

The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception is usually celebrated on December 8th.  This year, the Roman Catholic Church is observing the second Sunday of Advent on Sunday, December 8th and celebrating the Immaculate Conception on Monday, December 9th.  

As a Roman Catholic, I am proud to share my religious and cultural heritage that informs my work as an ESL/Citizenship teacher.  I also want to honor my Catholic brothers and sisters working tirelessly for justice on behalf on the immigrant community.
