PLOVER - NEW FRANKEN - PLOVER, WI

Following breakfast, we depart our hotel for

New Franken. Our Lady of Good Help was

recently confirmed as the National Shrine of

our Lady of Champion. The shrine has been

acknowledged by the Holy See’s Dicastery

for Divine Worship and Discipline of the

Sacraments, confirming the shrines ability to

celebrate an annual Solemnity Day. In 2009,

Reverend David L. Ricken, Bishop of Green

Bay, opened a formal church investigation

into the Marian Apparitions that occurred

October 9, 1859 on the site of Our Lady of

Good Health.

In 2010 Bishop Ricken declared the

apparitions “Worthy of Belief” by the authority

of the Catholic Church and in 2016 the United

States Conference of Catholic Bishops

designated the grounds as a National Shrine,

with an approved Marian Apparition.

11 AM mass will be celebrated with Fr.

Jimmy con-celebrating. Time will be allowed

to visit the cafeteria, gift shop and enjoy

some free time. By mid afternoon we depart
