In a small rural town 15 miles northeast of the hustle and bustle of Green Bay, you’ll find yourself in a peaceful surrounding of dairy farms and fields of corn, oats and soybeans. Then, on a small road in New Franken, you’ll come across a heavenly site...

The National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion is an internationally recognized holy site where the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared. The Shrine is more than 150 years old and typically draws more than 3,000 people a year to its small chapel. But ever since the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay approved three apparitions of the Virgin Mary at the site, the spot has become the center of it all for believers from around the world. It is the first and only church-approved apparition in the United States.

All are welcome to experience this humble and peaceful place of prayer and refuge – no appointment necessary.
