About Ukrainian Catholic National Shrine of the Holy Family
The Ukrainian Catholic National Shrine of the Holy Family is a vibrant religious and cultural landmark in Washington, DC. As a Ukrainian Greek Catholic national shrine and parish under the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia, it welcomes visitors for liturgy, cultural events, and community activities. The sanctuary features two liturgical spaces—the Lower Church (blessed 1979) and the Upper Church (completed 1999)—each offering a distinct atmosphere for worship and reflection. Whether you’re attending a service, a workshop, or a cultural event, you can expect a respectful, welcoming environment with straightforward access and clear information to help you plan your visit.
Located at 4250 Harewood Rd NE, the Shrine sits in a historic, culturally rich area of northeast Washington, with easy transit options and nearby lodging and dining choices. The community hosts events such as the annual Christmas Bazaar, the Iconography Competition, and Pysanka Workshops, making it a hub for faith, art, and Ukrainian heritage in the capital region.
