SUMMARY:2023 Our Lady of Champion
DESCRIPTION:Registration is now Open\n2023 Our Lady of Champion\nAugust 3-5\, 2023\n\nDear Knights and Dames\, Chaplains\, Provisional Members\, Auxiliary Members\, Friends\, and Families of the Western Association: \nAll three US Associations will sponsor the 10th Annual Pilgrimage to Champion\, Wisconsin to the Shrine of Our Lady of Champion from August 3-5\, 2023. The Shrine of Our Lady of Champion is the site of the only Marian apparition in the United States approved by the Catholic Church. This beautiful\, peaceful\, and holy place provides every pilgrim the opportunity for spiritual renewal and healing.  It is ideal for families and multi-generational groups and people unable to endure a more strenuous pilgrimage like Lourdes.  The travel is shorter\, the transportation from place to place is by bus\, and it is in the summer when many schools are not in session. \nWe invite everyone to join us this summer. \nTentative Schedule: \nThursday\, August 3: Registration; talks; Pilgrimage Opening Mass at 5:00 p.m. at St. Francis Xavier Cathedral\, dinner at the Hyatt\, Night Prayer \nFriday\, August 4: National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help; Mass in the Apparition Chapel; Confessions; tours; lunch in the Mother of Mercy Hall; National Shrine of St. Joseph; Anointing of the Sick; dinner at the Rock Garden restaurant\, Night Prayer \nSaturday\, August 5: Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help; Rosary Procession; Mass and Eucharistic healing service; lunch; Adoration; Reflection by Fr. Joseph Aytona\, Rector of the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help; Vigil Mass; closing dinner at the Hyatt; medal distribution \nRegistration is now open. The registration fee will be $450 per adult to cover the costs of lunch/dinner and bus transportation to the Shrine and back each day. There is a reduced registration fee of $150 for children under eighteen. Children under 2 are free. \nRegistration fee includes: lunch and dinner daily in the hotel and at the various sites\, round-trip transportation from the hotel to Our Lady of Good Help\, Pilgrimage Medals\, ballcaps/visors\, and other materials you will receive when you check in on site. \nTo register online\, please click here.\n  \nClick here to view the pilgrimage flyer.\n  \nHotel rates:\n$108 single/double occupancy plus tax or $133 triple occupancy plus tax.

The Order of Malta special rate is available Tuesday\, August 1 through Saturday\, August 5\, 2023. Please register EARLY to ensure availability of room preference. Double Queen Suites are the standard and room sharing is a viable option with adequate room for families.

All pilgrims should make hotel reservations as soon as possible after being notified of the acceptance of your registration.  Hotel space often fills up quickly. \nAll cancellations must be received in writing by June 16\, 2023 to receive a refund of the registration fee. If you cancel your registration\, you are responsible for canceling your own travel arrangements\, including your hotel reservation and your transportation. \nIf you have never been to Lourdes\, this is a unique opportunity to share in the experience of a Marian Shrine pilgrimage.
