“...Shrines…express an irreplaceable opportunity for evangelization in our time.”

-Pope Francis

Pope Francis's "Sanctuarium in Ecclessia" Motu Proprio

Restoring Pilgrimage. Uniting Shrines. Inspiring Faith.

Welcome to The National Association of Shrine and Pilgrimage Apostolate (NASPA). We are a community that renews and deepens the spiritual practice of pilgrimage as a vital form of evangelization through hospitality. NASPA unites national and diocesan shrines and partners with pilgrimage directors and leaders to ensure each pilgrimage is a transformative journey of faith. The association fosters devotion to the sacred sites of our Catholic heritage throughout the country and equips shrines and pilgrimage apostolates to guide their visitors into a living encounter with Christ.
