The National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion, formerly dedicated as the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help, is a Catholic shrine to Mary, mother of Jesus located within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Green Bay in the United States.[2] The chapel is in the Champion section of Green Bay, about 16 miles (26 km) northeast of downtown Green Bay proper. It stands on the site of the reported apparition of Mary to a Belgian-born woman, Adele Brise, in 1859.
The apparition was formally approved on December 8, 2010, by Bishop David L. Ricken, becoming the first Marian apparition approved by the Catholic Church in the United States. Bishop Ricken also approved the chapel as a diocesan shrine, recognizing its long history as a place of pilgrimage and prayer.[3] On August 15, 2016, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops designated the shrine as a national shrine.[4] In recognition of this, the shrine's name was changed to The National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help.[4]
On April 20, 2023, the name of the shrine was changed to The National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion.
