The Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help, located in New Franken, WI, holds a unique place in American religious history as the only approved Marian Apparition site in the country. This sacred site gained recognition from the Catholic Church when, in October 1859, the Blessed Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to Adele Brise, a young Belgian immigrant. From that moment, Adele dedicated herself to spreading Our Lady of Good Help's message of prayer, teaching, and healing, making this shrine a beacon of spiritual guidance and solace.

One of the most remarkable events in the shrine's history occurred on October 8, 1871, when it was miraculously spared from a devastating fire, thanks to the prayers of the faithful gathered there. This testament to the power of faith and devotion has solidified the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help as not just a religious site, but also a symbol of hope and protection. Visitors to this tranquil sanctuary can experience the rich history and profound sense of peace that emanates from its hallowed grounds.
