The National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche supports various spiritual programs, including a guild, shrine campaigns, group pilgrimages, and retreats.

Serving as a Living Testament to Faith and Nurturing a Strong Community
Additionally, the Confraternity of Our Lady of La Leche, established in 2019, is a community dedicated to deepening faith through prayer, fellowship, and service. Members commit to supporting one another in worship while actively serving within their parishes, creating a network of spiritual support and devotion that echoes the mission’s centuries-old tradition.
These programs and groups enable the mission to serve as a living testament to the faith of those who established it, fostering a community focused on worship, service, and the guidance of the Virgin Mary.
