Meet the guest. John Paul Brissette is director of communications for the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion near Green Bay, Wisconsin — the first and only Church-approved Marian apparition site in the United States, where Our Lady appeared to Servant of God Adele Brice in 1859.
The event: Catholic Saints of America, July 1–9. A "hall of fame of holiness" honoring 76 saints, blesseds, venerables, and servants of God who helped shape America, timed to the country's 250th anniversary. More than 35 of the 76 causes and shrines will be represented in person.
14 relics for public veneration, including St. Kateri Tekakwitha, St. Damien of Molokai, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, St. Marianne Cope, St. Théodore Guérin, St. Teresa of Calcutta (an honorary U.S. citizen), and blesseds Stanley Rother, Solanus Casey, Michael McGivney, and Francis Xavier Seelos.
Daily speakers representing sainthood causes, including miracle researcher Michael O'Neill of EWTN (July 5).
All-American picnic hosted by the Knights of Columbus on July 5.
Family-friendly scavenger hunt and activities for children of all ages.Novena for Our Nation — begins July 1. Written by the shrine's rector, Fr.
