Where do I need to go? What time should I get there?

Pilgrims start and end at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion for the Walk with the Children.  The walk begins at the St. Joseph Grotto and ends at the Apparition Grotto on the Shrine’s grounds.

Pilgrims participating in the Walk with the Children are invited to attend a 12:30pm CST children’s mass at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion.  Immediately following mass pilgrims will begin the Walk with the Children.

Pilgrims who do not attend mass can either start with the larger group beginning right after mass or they can do the Walk with the Children completely on their own any time after mass until 3:30pm CST.
