At Champion, Our Lady entrusted a mission of catechesis. This is a profound opportunity to teach the faithful about the holy men and women of America and to share the beauty and importance of the canonization process. Through our own experience with the Cause of Servant of God Adele Brice, we have seen firsthand how much prayer, work, and dedication go into promoting a Cause for canonization.

For that reason, we believe there is no better way to highlight these holy witnesses than by inviting the Causes themselves to be involved. We welcome participation in a variety of ways, whether in person, through promotional materials, or by helping to create a display board that tells the story of your Cause. We are currently working with more than 35 Causes and are grateful for the growing collaboration in this important mission.

This special event will include:

An American Saints Exhibit highlighting the life, virtues, and legacy of each individual

Speakers and guild representatives offering opportunities to learn more about the Causes

A Novena for Our Nation, uniting pilgrims in prayer for our country

Relics of multiple American Saints and Blesseds available for veneration

This spiritual initiative invites pilgrims from across the country to come together in prayer, to be inspired by those who have gone before us, and to renew their commitment to lives of holiness. Our hope is to help ignite a new generation of Saints for America.
