Your flesh dwells within me
Your breath my life now be
My heart is with one accord
Whence receiveth Thy Holy Word
Overabundant be Thy Grace

All contained within suffice
To sustain me for this life
And upon death’s calling
The greatest joy befalling
Bring me to the Holy Land
Forever with Father, Spirit, and Son of Man

There is something special about the town of Champion in the fall. As the leaves begin to change color throughout northeast Wisconsin, we prepare for one of the most meaningful celebrations of the year at The National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion: the Solemnity of...

As we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows (September 15), I want to share a story of how God's love was present in the sorrow I experienced about two years ago. I've always had a devotion to the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ because of the way he suffered...
