On these grounds over 150 years ago, the Holy Mother appeared to the young Adele Brise and instructed her to teach the children in the faith. This is where Sister Adele began her work and inspired the efforts of generations of faithful Christians.
The apparitions have been approved by the Church.

Annual
May Celebration
May 17, 2015 | Outdoor Mass & Rosary
Procession: 11 A.M.
This Shrine event was started around
turn of 20th century by Abbot Bernard H. Pennings, O. Praem, of St. Norbert
Abbey in De Pere, Wis. It was originally celebrated on last day of May as a
special day of prayer to combat a heresy that was influencing local Belgian
inhabitants. At that time, the last day in May was Feast of the Queenship of
Mary and probably why Abbot Pennings picked that day for the celebration.
Later, the event at the Shrine was switched to last Sunday in May and called Annual
May Celebration. When Church calendar was revised, Queenship of Mary was moved
to August 22, one week after Solemnity of the Assumption, to highlight
connection of those 2 Marian celebrations. May 31 became Feast of the
Visitation.

Sacrament and a rosary procession. This special celebration on Feast of the

by St. Joseph Parish in Champion when original statue was damaged.
