The National Shrine of St. Joseph
De Pere, WI
Recently, devotion to the foster father of Jesus has been heightened, and a pilgrimage to this shrine is a great blessing.
This shrine honoring him is ‘a small, quiet place of prayer’, which represents the life of St. Joseph. It is the only shrine in the USA with a “Papal-crowned” statue of St. Joseph, and one of only 17 in the world. Pope Leo XIII issued a papal bull of canonical coronation in 1891, which means he gave his blessing to have the statue crowned for devotion.
St. Frances Xavier Cathedral
Green Bay, WI
The Cathedral was consecrated in 1881 after 5 years of construction. We will visit this historic, beautiful church and pray for our Bishop at the Cathedral of his home Diocese.
St. Mary’s Oratory of the Immaculate Conception
Wausau, WI
In 1999, the Most Reverend Raymond L. Burke, then-bishop of La Crosse, announced excellent news for the future of St. Mary’s: the church, which was otherwise unoccupied due to the merging of several Wausau parishes, would be entrusted to the Institute of Christ the King as a center for the traditional Latin Mass. Walking through the doors of St. Mary’s now reveals the magnificence of authentic High Gothic architecture; the three altarpieces reproduce original works of art from the fifteenth-century Blutenburg Chapel in Bavaria, and the high altar features a statue of the Madonna and Child dating to the 1480s, just before the discovery of the Americas.
