Our Lady of Good Help
Bishop David Ricken of the Diocese of Green Bay, Wisconsin., announced on Dec.
8 that he officially approved the Marian apparitions known as “Our Lady
of Good Help” at Champion, Wis., near Green Bay. This is significant
because it makes Our Lady of Good Help at Champion the first & only
site in the United States of an approved apparition of the Blessed
Virgin Mary.
The First Approved Marian Apparition Site in the United States
On December 8, 2010, Bishop David Ricken, Bishop of Green Bay, Wisconsin, issued a decree stating with moral certainty that 3 apparitions of Mary in 1859 to a young Belgian immigrant, Adele Brise, in Champion (formerly Robinsonville), Wisconsin, were authentic. This declaration of Our Lady of Good Help has been added to the list of approved apparitions of the Virgin Mary around the world.
When Mary appeared to Adele, she called herself the “Queen of heaven who prays for sinners.” The Blessed Mother gave Adele the mission of sharing her faith with others. Adele traveled throughout the state teaching religious education. She also established a school near the site where Mary appeared to her.
