After a beautiful morning at Holy Hill Basilica and National Shrine of Mary Help of Christians, our pilgrimage continues to our next destination: the Country Inn & Suites.

Upon arrival, we will check in and have some time to rest and refresh in the comfortable and welcoming atmosphere of our hotel. 

In the evening, we will gather for a delightful dinner at the Wildflower Supper Club. This charming venue offers a warm and inviting setting for us to share a meal and enjoy each other's company. 

After an early morning breakfast at the hotel we will depart for the Shrine of Our Lady of Champion in Wisconsin, the only approved Marian apparition site in the United States. Upon arrival, we will gather for an engaging history talk about the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the establishment of the shrine. We will then have time for Eucharistic Adoration, and at this time the Sacrament of Reconciliation will also be available. Together, we will also have an opportunity to pray the Rosary, and celebrate Holy Mass at the Shrine. Following Mass, we will enjoy a lunch and some free time, allowing everyone to explore the Shrine at their own pace, to walk the serene grounds, light a candle, or spend more time in personal prayer and reflection.

In the afternoon, our pilgrimage will take us to the Door Peninsula Winery, where we will enjoy a tour and delightful wine tasting experience. Following the wine tasting, we will continue to the charming Waterfront Mary Restaurant for a traditional fish boil dinner. This local culinary tradition, set against the backdrop of stunning waterfront views, will provide a perfect end to our day.

On the third and final day of our pilgrimage, we will begin with an early morning breakfast before heading to the magnificent Basilica of St. Josaphat. There, we will celebrate Mass, immersing ourselves in the beauty and reverence of this historic church. Following Mass, we will take a tour of the Basilica, exploring its rich history and stunning architecture. Our journey will then continue to the St. Joan of Arc Chapel, where we will have the opportunity to pray where St. Joan of Arc prayed! 

After a delicious lunch at the renowned Mader's Restaurant, we'll end our pilgrimage with a visit to Stempers Religious Good Store. Here, we will have time to shop for religious items, souvenirs, and gifts, allowing us to bring a piece of our pilgrimage experience home with us. 

After a wonderful pilgrimage, we'll return to St. Mary’s in Huntley, carrying with us the cherished memories and new friendships.
