Review of Basilica of the National Shrine

I loved this place!

I loved this place!

They have Masses at several times of the day.

There are Masses celebrated in English and Spanish.

I attended a 4:30p.m. Mass.

It was the feast day of St. Blaise too, the Priest knew that some people may like to rush off after the Mass, so he concluded the Mass first and then asked people who wanted the blessing to wait after the Mass.

I had never experienced any special blessing on the feast day of St. Blaise, so I waited behind.

Offertory was done in a distinctive manner too. There were envelopes at the pews, you just had to pick one and put your offering inside while the Welcoming Ministers (Ushers) later came to collect them.

Bulletin was free.

the Church is soundproof which made attentiveness at Mass top-notch.

It is very easy to locate and a beauty to behold even in the dark.

located right beside it is the CATHOLIC university of America.
