Marian Apparition: Our Lady of Good Help

Bishop David Ricken announced today that he officially approves the Marian apparitions at the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help at Champion. The Shrine  is built directly over the site where Mary, “The Queen of Heaven,” is said to have appeared to a young Belgian immigrant girl, Adele Brise, in 1859.  Today’s declaration makes Our Lady of Good Help at Champion the first and only site in the United States of an approved apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Here’s a link to a video from WGBAY.
