Most beautiful church in the US. Jaw dropping and inspiring. You’ll be speechless when you go. Be sure to explore the place too. It’s absolutely massive. Tallest building in DC plus a giant underground portion.
And you don’t have to be Catholic to pray there or appreciate it.
The crypt level is equally as amazing as the basilica up top. It’s ringed with chapels to many different nations’ patron saints, many of which have inspiring stories commemorated on plaques just outside the shrines.
It’s a beautiful building. Better than the National Cathedral by a long shot, and easy to get to on the metro.
Yup! All are welcome and it’s free of course. Crypt level is amazing. I’ve spent hours down there. With all of the museums closed, it’s a perfect place to spend a few hours.
Prayer for a Resurgence of Christianity in America and the Re-election of Donald Trump
Almighty and Eternal God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords: graciously turn your gaze to us who invoke You with confidence.
Bless us, citizens of the United States of America; grant peace and prosperity to our Nation; illuminate those who govern us so that they may commit themselves to the common good, in respect for Your holy Law.
Protect those who, defending the inviolable principles of the Natural Law and Your Commandments, must face the repeated assaults of the Enemy of the human race.
Keep in the hearts of Your children courage for the truth, love for virtue and perseverance in the midst of trials.
Make our families grow in the example that Our Lord has given us, together with His Most Holy Mother and Saint Joseph in the home of Nazareth; give to our fathers and mothers the gift of Strength, to educate wisely the children with which you have blessed them.Give courage to those who, in spiritual combat, fight the good fight as soldiers of Christ against the furious forces of the children of darkness.
Keep each one of us, O Lord, in your Most Sacred Heart, and above all He whom Your Providence has placed at the head of our Nation.
Bless the President of the United States of America, so that aware of his responsibility and his duties, he may be a knight of justice, a defender of the oppressed, a firm bulwark against Your enemies, and a proud supporter of the children of light.
Place the United States of America and the whole world under the mantle of the Queen of Victories, our Unconquered Leader in battle, the Immaculate Conception. It is thanks to her, and through your Mercy, that the hymn of praise rises to you, O Lord, from the children whom you have redeemed in the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
When you are done there be sure to take the time to cover the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C. with spray paint Pepe memes.
Went to it a Year ago, Beautiful Church rivals the Capital Building in Size.
Built at the request of Our Blessed Mother.

I was visiting Hagia Sofia in Constantinople. Completely blown away. Sadly it was converted to a Mosque just a few months ago.

Beautiful, thank you for posting.
I second this. Prayer is critically important. Implore Our Blessed Mother for her help in this fight for justice and truth.
It’s quite a bit out of the way tho...
Wow. Just wow. I think I’ve been there when very young. Marvelous architecture.
