Once a legendary Chicago radio personality living in the celebrity spotlight, Kevin Matthews found his life transformed after a debilitating illness led him to a discarded, broken statue of the Virgin Mary. Refusing to repair her cracks, Kevin embraced the statue as a symbol of our shared human imperfection, famously stating, "She is broken, just like me." Now known as "Mary’s Roadie," he travels to share this message of hope, documenting how spiritual awakening and the power of the Rosary can bring profound healing to those suffering in silence.
The opportunity to receive the sacrament of reconciliation is available throughout the entire day. Priests will be available at the start, end, and lunch, or if you see a priest available during the walk - we encourage you to ask them to hear your confession while walking.

Adele Brice 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.
