Orlando’s Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary, Queen ofthe Universe is highly recommended not only for its internal and external beauty but also for the fact that this Shrine makes one proud to be Catholic.
Primarily the church was built for the spiritual needs of
millions of visitors from around the universe who travel to Orlando theme parks
each year, the Shrine being 3rd in popularity of 196 places of interest in the
area. Thus the Orlando Diocese “reaches countless thousands of Catholics each
year, providing them a spiritual oasis”, and oasis it truly is.
