You could see more pilgrims visit the National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help in Champion after its new Mother of Mercy Hall officially opens its doors to the public on Sunday. The new facility will be able to seat up 1,200 people for large celebrations of mass or conference gatherings and be able to be divided into smaller rooms if needed. With 160,000 visitors last year, Father John Broussard, the Shrine’s rector, says Mother of Mercy Hall will be a great addition to its campus and to the region.
Diocese of Green Bay Bishop David Ricken will say Mother of Mercy Hall’s first mass and rite of blessing Sunday at 11 a.m. Other events will also take place at Mother of Mercy Hall throughout the afternoon.
