Thanksgiving Day Mass

The Chapel of Mary

Recitation of the Rosary will take place 30 minutes before Mass.

Gardens and Shops Closed Today

The gardens and gift shop are closed today. The grounds will close immediately after Mass, but we hope you will all join us tomorrow as we celebrate the opening of the Christmas Festival of Lights.

“I will praise your name for ever, Lord.”

God our Father, praise and thanksgiving we offer unto you today, as we celebrate Thanksgiving Day with single-hearted love and devotion. Our thanks to your countless blessings upon all of us are beyond compare. There is no word that could describe how gracious you are to all of us. May all people in America remember you and thank you for the past year of blessings from you. May we always be grateful, not just today, but every day. Bless all the families who gather today. May this day be a day of renewal of love and commitment among the members. Please keep everyone safe. This we ask, in Jesus Christ’s Name. Amen. 

Saint Clement I, pope and martyr, pray for us.

Known as the world's largest Christmas Choral Festival, more than 150 choirs will perform over the course of 36 nights in the Chapel of Mary, known for its cathedral-like acoustics. 

There are nightly puppet shows and caroling in the pavilion tent, and don't forget the millions of lights! Back by popular demand is our giant, walk-thru Christmas tree.
