The National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help in Champion is offering you another opportunity this spring for you to learn more about the Virgin Mary.

Planning is underway for the Shrine’s first Marian Conference to take place May 20th and 21st on its grounds. Local pastor Edward Looney will join Patron of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta Cardinal Raymond Burke, Diocese of Green Bay Bishop David Ricken, and Father Chris Alar of the National Shrine of Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Mass. as speakers during the two-day event. Champion Shrine Director of Communications Chelsey Hare says the conference will help pilgrims have a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and his mother Mary.

Registration is now open for the event, which complements other activities at the Champion Shrine during the Marian month of May. They are holding the Walk to Mary pilgrimage from DePere to the Shrine on May 7th before their traditional May Crowning mass on May 8th.
