Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
One of Champion Shrine’s longest-standing traditions! Pilgrims from all over the country come to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption of Our Blessed Mother on August 15. The Shrine has its historic Mass at 11 a.m. and a rosary procession led by a statue of our Blessed Mother following Mass. Confessions and Enrollment in the Brown Scapular are included in the day’s events as well. Spend time in prayer with your loved ones, encountering the presence of Our Lady of Good Help.
Miracle of Fire
Every year, the National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help celebrates its anniversary of our Blessed Mother’s apparition to Adele Brise in 1859 as well as the anniversary of the miracle of the Great Peshtigo Fire in 1871. On the evening of October 8, the Shrine will hold all-night adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in the Apparition Chapel and hourly rosary processions around the Shrine’s grounds. Mass will be held the next day to commemorate Our Lady’s appearance to Adele
Marian Conference
Join hundreds of pilgrims from around the world in The National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help’s annual Marian Conference. Taking place every year on the weekend before Memorial Day, the conference will focus on a different quality of Mary, inviting top speakers who can dive into the topic. Attendees will be able to develop a deeper understanding of Mary while also growing in greater intimacy with her Son, Jesus.
Walk to Mary
The Walk to Mary is an annual pilgrimage that takes place on the first Saturday of May. Pilgrims journey from the National Shrine of St. Joseph to the National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help. This 21-mil spiritual experience has impacted our lives and filled our hearts with many blessings from the Holy Family!
Belgian Harvest Festival
Join the Shrine as it welcomes in the fall season! The Belgian Harvest Festival celebrates the history of the National Shrine in Champion and the rich Belgian heritage within the surrounding community. The festival includes special blessings of the fall harvest crops and the area’s farming tractors. Pilgrims will also be able to enjoy desserts and experience the Belgian tradition of chicken booyah!
Eucharistic Healing Service
At the conclusion of the 11 a.m. Mass on every last Saturday of the Month, the Blessed Sacrament is exposed and processed among the faithful. This is then followed by the Anointing of the Sick for those needing the Sacrament.
