Sunday Concerts

Sunday Concerts are offered free to the public every week of the year at 4:00 PM in the church and feature guest artists and the Shrine’s own musicians in performances of chamber music and choral music and recitals on the acclaimed Schoenstein pipe organ.

Our Lord Jesus Christ himself has said, “My house is a house of prayer” (Luke 19:46). Accordingly,

• The performers and the audience must be dressed in a manner of modesty and good taste which is fitting to the sacred character of the place;

• Men, in keeping with ancient custom, must remove their hats or headcoverings upon entering the church;

• Cell phones and pagers must be silent;

• No flash photography is allowed during the performance;

• All visitors must maintain an atmosphere of sacred respect before, during, and after the performance.
