Families know how difficult it can be to focus on the basics - working hard, practicing their faith, and making a difference in their community. The model of St. Joseph is helpful to all families as he gives the ideal example of what it means to be a leader who was faithful to the call that God had entrusted to him. We believe that the Pilgrim Chapel will give all visitors to the Shrine a new way to appreciate St. Joseph and have him impact their families. It's more than a chapel- it's a place to visit and be inspired, then return to your busy schedule with more faith, enthusiasm, and confidence in the providence of your everyday life.

The Pilgrim Chapel is much more than just a place to pray - it's an experience. The Chapel features a 9 x 81/2 ft mosaic on the Life of St. Joseph, a work that tells a story to all who pause and visit the Chapel. The chapel is located just outside the entrance to the Gift Shop and is meant to be a place of reflection and prayer.
