The National Blue Army Shrine of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is a Catholic Shrine
in Washington, New Jersey, dedicated to the message of Fatima. It is owned and operated by The Blue Army, USA, a
worldwide movement of millions of faithful responding to the requests Our Blessed Mother
made to three shepherd children at Fatima, Portugal in 1917.
The Shrine is located on 150 acres and rises over the lovely Muscontecong Valley as an
architectural embodiment of the faith and devotion of pilgrims to Our Lady and hosts
more than 50,000 pilgrims annually. The Shrine provides all who come here a peaceful
setting for prayer and meditation. The National Blue Army Shrine of the Immaculate
Heart of Mary was built in 1978 as an answer to Our Lord's plea to Lucia, "What is
being done to spread devotion to the Immaculate Heart of My Mothers?"
The roof of the Shrine represents Mary's mantle flowing over and protecting her
children. The bronze statue of the Immaculate Heart of Mary holding out the Rosary
and the Scapular rises 145 feet from the chapel level. The Heart of the Shrine is
Our Eucharistic Lord present in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel, on the lower level.
The special charisma of the Shrine is peace and a unique closeness to Jesus and Mary
is experienced by pilgrims who come with faith, love and devotion to honor the
Eucharistic Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of His Mother.
