Located only one hour apart, EWTN Global Catholic Network and the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament offer pilgrims an experience as unique and unforgettable as our foundress, Mother Angelica!
Both facilities offer a wonderful gift shop with a huge selection of unique gifts, including EWTN videos and books by EWTN hosts!


At EWTN, nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, you can attend the Mass seen around the world, pray before the Blessed Sacrament, go to Confession, attend catechetical and inspiring spiritual talks, tour state-of-the-art TV facilities, enjoy the beautiful grounds, attend a live studio show and maybe even meet your favorite EWTN host.


At the Shrine, which is home to Our Lady of the Angels Monastery, you can attend Mass, pray in front of the Blessed Sacrament, stroll through the various gardens and grottos, and meditate at the lifelike Nativity scene. Enjoy the architecture of the magnificent Shrine with its main and lower churches. Visit the Castle of Saint Michael or learn more about the Eucharist by touring the John Paul II Center. The Poor Clare Nuns of Perpetual Adoration extend a personal invitation to pilgrims seeking spiritual renewal to join them as they pray the Divine Office, the Rosary, and adore our Eucharistic Lord.
Just around the corner from EWTN, in the heart of beautiful downtown Birmingham, Alabama is the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex, adjacent to I-20/59. It couldn’t be a better venue for travelers, as it’s nearby dozens of top-notch facilities which include over 1,000 adjoining guest rooms (great news for families) in the Westin Birmingham and Sheraton Birmingham Hotels. You’ll love evenings at the Uptown Entertainment District for dining and family fun. This BJCC parking map BJCC Campus provides parking options.
