What church now serves as the International Mother's Day Shrine?

The church that now serves as the International Mother's Day Shrine is Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church.

Located in Grafton, West Virginia, the church is closely linked with Anna Jarvis, the founder of the modern American Mother's Day. The first official Mother's Day observance was held there in 1908, honoring Jarvis's mother, Ann Maria Reeves Jarvis, and the broader idea of recognizing mothers' service and influence.

The church was built in 1873 and dedicated to Methodist Episcopal bishop Edward Gayer Andrews. It became the International Mother's Day Shrine on May 15, 1962. The site was later designated a National Historic Landmark in 1992.

A common mix-up is confusing the shrine with a church named specifically for Mother's Day. Its original name remains Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church; “International Mother's Day Shrine” describes its later commemorative role. The building continues to host an annual Mother's Day liturgy and welcomes visitors by appointment.
