Outside of the Shrine Church.
The main altar inside.
Another shot of the main altar.
A bishop's tomb. I'm guessing not a low-churchman either.
As soon as you open the main doors, this altar greets you.
The Holy House inside the Shrine Church. This is the actual shrine to OLW.
One of many beautiful side chapels inside the Shrine Church.
In all, I would have to say that I was most impressed with the Shrine Church and the surrounding grounds. Everything was up-to-date and well maintained. You certainly could tell that many faithful patrons support the Shrine and devotion to OLW.
My recommendation would be to go without all the pomp and ceremony of the National Pilgrimage. It was crazy, but you certainly got to see a lot of high church spikery at its finest.
