A '''national shrine''' is a [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] church or other sacred place which has met certain requirements and is given this honor by the national [[episcopal conference]] to recognize the church's special cultural, historical, and religious significance.<ref name=":0">[https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/__P4J.HTM Canon 1231], Code of Canon Law</ref>

== Process==
For a church to receive the status of a national shrine involves a number of steps and certifications. It must first be designated as a diocesan (or archdiocesan) [[Shrine#Christianity|shrine]], an honor conferred by the local bishop or archbishop.<ref name="TOP">{{cite news | url = http://www.rcam.org/news/173-archdiocesan-shrine-of-our-lady-of-guadalupe-declared-national-shrine-on-may-31 | first = Adrian | last = Tambuyat | publisher = Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manila | title = Archdiocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe declared National Shrine on May 31 | access-date = October 10, 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160701193418/http://www.rcam.org/news/173-archdiocesan-shrine-of-our-lady-of-guadalupe-declared-national-shrine-on-may-31 | archive-date = July 1, 2016 | url-status = dead }}</ref> To be designated as a diocesan shrine, the subject church must be a place "to which numerous members of the faithful make pilgrimage for a special reason of piety."<ref name=":0" /> It must exceed other churches in terms of worship, Christian formation, and social services.<ref name="TOP"/> When these requirements are met, the parish petitions the bishop to canonically elevate the church.<ref name="TOP"/>

When devotion has grown, the diocesan shrine may petition the national Conference of Catholic Bishops. Evaluation by the nation's bishops involves considerations including canon law, liturgy, and doctrine.<ref name="TOP"/>

Declaration of an international shrine is conferred by the [[Holy See]].<ref>[https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/_P4J.HTM Code of Canon Law §1231]</ref>
