WALK TO MARY
Saturday, May 2, 2026
This year, Fr. Nathan Caswell and the Canons will not be able to participate in the Walk to Mary. However, we encourage anyone who is interested to attend on their own if they are able.
The Walk to Mary has become a pilgrimage like no other in the world. Starting with St. Joseph, at the National Shrine of St. Joseph, and walking to Mary, at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion, to get to Jesus. This annual pilgrimage has impacted lives and filled hearts with many blessings from the Holy Family.
The entire walk covers 21 miles and spiritually prepares us for our destination – America’s only Church-approved Marian apparition site, where in 1859, the Blessed Mother appeared to Adele Brise on the site of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion in Champion, Wisconsin.
