Wisconsin Wonder: A Catholic pilgrim seeks a guide
Faith Full Catholic Podcast
This episode is the first of three about The National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help in Champion, WI. This is the first and only Church-approved Marian Apparition site in the United States. In 1859 the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to a Belgian immigrant, Adele Brise. Mary identified herself as "The Queen of Heaven who prays for the conversion of sinners," and told Adele to teach children their catechism, how to make the sign of the cross, and how to approach the sacraments. And then Mary said, "Go and fear nothing, I will help you." Our next episode will go a little deeper into the apparition, and the miracles at Champion, but today we're preparing for that pilgrimage with the help of Jesuit priest, Fr. Carlos Esparza.

'The best antidotes to falsehoods are not strategies, but people: people who are not greedy but ready to listen, people who make the effort to engage in sincere dialogue so that the truth can emerge; people who are attracted by goodness and take responsibility for how they use language..'
