A Celebration of Our Lady of Champion and Her Apparitions in Champion, WI!
Join us as we commemorate the Annual Solemnity of Our Lady of Champion every October 9!
In 2023, the National Shrine received word from the Holy See’s Dicastery of Divine Worship in Rome, confirming the Shrine’s ability to celebrate a Solemnity Mass of Our Lady of Champion on the grounds of the Shrine every year. This Mass with the rank of Solemnity will take place every year on the established anniversary day of the Blessed Virgin Mary’s 2nd and 3rd apparitions to Adele Brise!
Join the National Shrine, here on the grounds where the Queen of Heaven appeared, for the Annual Solemnity Mass of Our Lady of Champion every October 9. It’s a beautiful day to honor Our Lady of Champion and her hopeful message given to Adele in Champion, WI!
