Shrine Location

The Ukrainian Catholic National Shrine has become an established and highly visible presence of Eastern Catholicism in Washington, D.C.

Approximately 3 1/2 miles north of the U.S. Capitol building, the Shrine is adjacent to St. Josaphat's Ukrainian Catholic Seminary, and across the street from the campus of the Catholic University of America. We are also a very short distance from the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.

The site of our newest neighbor, the Pope John Paul II Cultural Center, is just a brief walk away. The new Center is part international think-tank and part Papal museum. It is similar in concept to special libraries constructed in honor of former U.S. Presidents.

In addition, numerous religious orders maintain residences or facilities in the surrounding area.
