During the Celebrations of Our Lady of Guadalupe, we do not administer the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
To obtain additional information, including registration forms, please contact our Main Office at (847) 294-1806.
We recommend that you first seek information at your local Parish. Many local Parishes throughout the Chicago land area organize pilgrimages and trips to the Shrine, where everyone travels together as a Parish. If your local Parish is not organizing a pilgrimage, you can get together with friends and family and make the pilgrimage together. To make your voyage more enjoyable, we ask that large pilgrimage groups register beforehand so that we can attend to your needs. Regardless if you come walking, running, cycling, or driving, Our Lady of Guadalupe will welcome you with a warm hug!
You may visit us at any time! The outdoor Plaza is always open 24/7 to everyone who seeks to visit our Blessed Mother. Specific amenities like the Tilma Gift Shop and the Main Office are not always available 24/7.
No, there is never a cost to visit. However, if you wish to park on the grounds of the Shrine, we ask for a small donation of $15.00 per vehicle.
