The Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe, a beloved, eye-catching, and historically significant landmark in the heart of Dallas, Texas, was granted the prestigious designation of a National Shrine by the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops in September 2023 in response to an initiative by Bishop Edward J. Burns, eighth bishop of the Diocese of Dallas. This significant milestone reflects the Cathedral’s enduring cultural and religious significance within the community and the broader context of the United States.

Now known as the National Shrine Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Cathedral is located in the heart of downtown Dallas and has long been a place of pilgrimage for Catholics, especially Catholics from Mexico and Latin America.
