NATIONAL SHRINE OF OUR LADY OF LA LECHE
Tucked beneath ancient oak trees draped in Spanish moss, along the peaceful waterfront of St. Augustine, Florida, is one of America’s most treasured places of faith and reflection.
Welcome to the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche at Mission Nombre de Dios.
This sacred ground commemorates the beginnings of the Catholic faith in what would become the United States, dating to the arrival of Spanish settlers and missionaries in 1565.
Today, visitors can explore beautiful gardens, historic monuments, the Great Cross, the peaceful chapel dedicated to Our Lady of La Leche, and quiet pathways that invite prayer, reflection, and a moment away from the demands of everyday life.
Whether you come as a pilgrim, a student of history, or simply someone seeking a peaceful place to reflect, the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche offers something meaningful.
A place where history, faith, and tranquility meet.
