National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help:

Why the Shrine?

GBYC is taking place at the Mother of Mercy Hall at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help.  The Office of Child & Youth Faith Formation wanted to offer the fruits of GBYC back to Our Lady of Good Help in response to her message to Sr. Adele Brise, "Gather the children in this wild country and teach them what they should know for salvation...Go and fear nothing. I will help you."
