Adele Brise never swayed from her mission to teach the children the Catholic faith, no matter the hardship. She carried the messages of salvation, healing and grace on the back of her perseverance. This awe-inspiring determination continues to captivate the faithful, guiding them to the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion on their spiritual journeys. It is the Walk to Mary’s intention to continue the mission she started. Using the school kits provided as a starting point, Catholic schools are using the Walk to Mary as a fundraising opportunity, like Adele, supporting Catholic education. In addition to that, it is the intention of the Walk to Mary that any excess funds (after all expenses to support the pilgrimage are paid for) will be used to assist in teaching our children the faith.
