On October 9, 1859, the Holy Mother appeared to Adele Brise on the site of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion and gave her this message: “Gather the children in this wild country and teach them what they should know for salvation. Teach them their catechism, how to sign themselves with the sign of the Cross, and how to approach the sacraments; that is what I wish you to do.” Inspired by the faith of Adele, we continue to live out the instruction she received from Mary by educating children in the faith. 

Our sponsor’s donations will be used primarily to help us cover our operating costs for the Walk to Mary.  If there are any excess funds remaining they will be used to support the Catholic education of children.

If you can’t walk but would like to make a donation, please fill out this form. We certainly would appreciate your generosity.
