NATIONAL CHARITIES
BASILICA OF THE NATIONAL SHRINE OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
Designed by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishop as a National Sanctuary of Prayer and Pilgrimage, this great Basilica is our nation's preeminent Marian shrine, dedicated to the patroness of the United States, the Blessed Virgin Mary under her title of the Immaculate Conception. This patronal church is home to more than 80 chapels and oratories that honor the Mother of God and represent the peoples, cultures, and traditions that are the fabric of the Catholic faith and mosaic of our nation. It is no wonder why it is affectionately referred to as America's Catholic Church. For more information: https://nationalshrine.org

MISSIONARIES OF CHARITY (THE SISTERS OF MOTHER TERESA)
The Missionaries of Charity Sisters (Mother Teresa's Sisters or the Sisters of Mother Teresa, as many call them) is a religious community in the Catholic Church, founded by Mother Teresa of Calcutta (now St. Teresa of Calcutta, India Calcutta) in 1950 in Calcutta, India. The community is totally dedicated to the service of the poorest of the poor, irrespective of social class, creed or colour. We deliberately choose to show God's concern for the poorest and the lowliest, remaining right on the ground, while offering immediate and effective service to those in need, until they can find someone who can help them in a better and more lasting way.
