The National Votive Shrine of
Our Lady of Prompt Succor:

A Place of Pilgrimage, 
Worship, and Prayer

During 2025 and through early January 2026, we will expand our outreach by participating in the Church’s Jubilee 2025 year as an Archdiocesan pilgrimage site. The theme selected by Pope Francis is Pilgrims of Hope and the Jubilee year began with the opening of the Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica. This year of grace offers the Catholic faithful an opportunity for spiritual renewal, emphasizing themes of forgiveness, reconciliation and the universal call to holiness. Recognizing that all the faithful may not be able to travel to foreign destinations to participate in a pilgrimage, the Pope has therefore encouraged every Diocese worldwide to select sites to allow for pilgrimages within their own community where there is a presence of God and true devotion.

The National Votive Shrine of Our Lady of Prompt Succor is one of twelve pilgrimage sites in the Archdiocese of New Orleans and we encourage you to plan a visit to our Shrine and other sites in our area, as well as, other Diocese locations where you may live and worship. We recommend scheduling individual or group visits which will allow for a tour and prayer time.

We are blessed that the Shrine continues its mission to spread the word of devotion to Mary, the Mother of Jesus, under the title of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, because of all of you who share your care and dedication through prayer, service, or financial support. May you continue to know God’s loving care for you and for all those who are a part of your life.
