The National Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is blessed to have many
 beautiful shrines within the main chapel.
Some shrines contain relics of various saints.

The Shrine Chapel

 St. Joseph Shrine
The magnificent main Chapel dedicated to
 Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.

The image behind the Altar is unique to our Shrine.

Many people stop to pray before this statue honoring St. Joseph, husband to Mary and foster-father to Jesus.

The Carmelites have a special devotion to St. Joseph
 and consider him the principal protector of our Order.
A beautiful gazebo, adjacent to the statue, offers a comfortable place for extended prayer and reflection.
La Bruna Shrine St. Patrick Shrine

La Bruna is the oldest representation of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.
We have a stunning reproduction of the 13th Century
painting of the Tuscan school which hangs in the entrance
of our Shrine Chapel.
At the beautiful shrine of St. Patrick, visitors are welcome and special intentions and petitions are received.
  
Irish Relics are venerated here. 
The Infant of Prague Shrine St. Therese  The Little Flower Shrine

St. Theresa  of Avila and other Carmelite Saints figure prominently in the history of devotion to the Child Jesus
under the title "Infant Jesus of Prague."

Many pilgrims offer prayers before this familiar
and powerful image of the Christ Child.

Those devoted to St. Therese may visit her shrine and
offer prayer before her relics.
