The Basilica Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, also known as The Miraculous Medal Shrine, is at 500 E. Chelten Ave. in the East Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The church now known as the Basilica Shrine was founded by the Congregation of the Mission in 1879 as the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception on the grounds of St. Vincent's Seminary. In 1927, Fr. Joseph Skelly, CM, commissioned the creation of Mary's Central Shrine within the chapel to promote devotion to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, a title of the Virgin Mary originating with her apparitions to Saint Catherine Labouré in Paris in 1830.On January 25, 2023, it was announced that the Vatican's Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments issued a decree granting The Miraculous Medal Shrine (jointly the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception and Mary's Central Shrine within it), the title Minor basilica. This made the Basilica Shrine the second basilica in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia along with the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul. To date, it is the most recent Catholic church to receive the title of Basilica.
