DESCRIPTION:All are invited as we welcome newly appointed Bishop Ralph O’Donnell, originally from the Archdiocese of Omaha, to our Feast Day celebration on May 25, 2026.

Bishop O’Donnell will honor Mary and all mothers by presiding over the Memorial Mass of Mary, Mother of the Church at The National Shrine of Mary, Mother of the Church in Laurie, MO.

We are blessed to welcome Bishop Ralph O’Donnell, who will be celebrating Mass at the Mother’s Shrine for the first time. The Missouri Knights of Columbus and the Knights and Dames of the Holy Sepulchre will add to the solemnity of worship and the honor given to Mary and all mothers on this day.

A Patriotic Rosary will start at 11:45 a.m. At 1:00 p.m. Bishop O’Donnell will preside over the Crowning of Mary, Holy Mass and the Unveiling of new names on our Mothers’ Wall of Life. The Knights of Columbus will then provide a fundraiser lunch to all who have sent an R.S.V.P. for it. Sign up for lunch at: mothersshrine.com.

The National Shrine of Mary, Mother of the Church is nestled in the hills, west of the Lake of the Ozarks.

Over the years the shrine has grown from those first ideas in the 1980s into a beautiful shrine, which can accommodate around 6,000 people for each outdoor Mass.

We echo the invitation of Christ, “Behold your Mother.” Come and experience the peace and beauty of the shrine. Come and be enveloped by the love of your Heavenly Mother. Let your heart be touched by her tenderness. Receive the graces she wants to shower on you. Allow her to lead you into deeper relationship with her son.
