Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady of San Juan del Valle
Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady of San Juan del Valle, Minor basilica in San Juan, Texas, US.
The basilica stands as a Catholic national shrine at 400 North Virgen de San Juan Boulevard, featuring bronze statues and religious murals across its grounds.
In 1970, a plane crashed into the original shrine during Mass, leading to complete reconstruction efforts that culminated in the new building's dedication in 1980.
The shrine incorporates Mexican religious traditions through its statue of Our Lady of San Juan, which mirrors the original from San Juan de los Lagos.
The basilica schedules daily Masses in English and Spanish, with confessions available Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM.
The basilica maintains thirty life-sized bronze statues forming the Stations of the Cross, dedicated in 1993 for outdoor meditation and prayer.
