WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception is pleased to announce the official launch of the website for the National Shrine Preservation Trust. The new site is now live at www.nationalshrinetrust.org.
Established in February 2024, the Preservation Trust was created to provide financial support in perpetuity for the preservation, conservation, and protection of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception—a building of historical, artistic, and spiritual significance in the life of the nation and of American Catholicism.
Under the leadership of Monsignor Walter R. Rossi, President of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception Preservation Trust and Rector of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, the Trust has embraced this important mission with the launch of this new website.
An independent nonprofit corporation, governed by its Board of Directors, the Preservation Trust was conceived and created to ensure the continuation of the legacy of America’s Catholic Church for generations to come.
The Trust is comprised of two funds: the Annual Fund and Endowment. The Annual Fund supports the Basilica’s most urgent preservation needs while the endowment is a long-term investment vehicle that ensures sustainability and recurring investment income.
Together, with faith and generosity, we can ensure that Mary’s Shrine remains a beautiful sanctuary for prayer and pilgrimage for posterity.
