Celebrate the 2025 Jubilee at Champion Shrine as Pilgrims of Hope
An excerpt from the website of Champion Shrine:
“The Universal Church celebrates a Jubilee in the year 2025 and it is an incredible opportunity for the faithful to renew one’s life of prayer and receive special jubilee graces! With the theme, “Pilgrims of Hope,” the Holy Father desires the Church to “fan the flame of hope that has been given us and help everyone to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with an open spirit, a trusting heart and farsighted vision.”
Many choose to participate in the Jubilee Year by pilgrimaging to designated Jubilee Sites – from Rome to within their own Diocese! This Jubilee Year, the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion has been designated a Jubilee Site by Bishop David Ricken.
With joyful hearts, we welcome pilgrims – near and far – to find spiritual refuge and hope at Our Lady of Champion’s Shrine. We invite the faithful to hold on to Our Blessed Mother’s Words to Adele, “Go and fear nothing, I will help you,” during this Jubilee Year, finding comfort in Mary, Our Mother of Hope!”
In addition, as you can see in the image above, the Champion Shrine is having a very special Marian Conference in May. His Excellency, Bishop David Ricken will be presenting. I will be presenting on both days of the event. You can learn more here in this link. And you can register there. It’s best to plan ahead and reserve your spot.
By attending the Marian Conference, you will be making a pilgrimage in the Jubilee Year of Hope! You can pray to receive a plenary indulgence. Here is some information on how that is accomplished. Scroll down on the page to see many “Jubilee FAQ’s.” There’s a lot of very good information on the page with regard to the Jubilee Year of Hope 2025.
By the way, I have written a chapter in my new book: Our Life, Our Sweetness, and Our Hope!: Jubilee Pilgrims of Hope with Mary on the beautiful Marian Apparitions of Our Lady of Champion. Bishop Ricken has read it. I am very honored and blessed to have received his gracious invitation to present talks at the Shrine. I am very much looking forward to meeting him in person, to being there in that sacred place, to presenting, and meeting all of the wonderful pilgrims who come to receive the GRACES!
The Blessed Virgin Mary is our great anchor of HOPE! God has gifted us with the most eminent gift ever — His own Mother! Mother Mary, who worked alongside her Son Jesus has much to teach us. At the Marian Conference in Champion, I’ll be presenting a talk: “Mary: Our Jubilee Year Queen of Hope!” and will speak about Mary’s joyful, loving, and sacrificial role in salvation history. Mary’s extraordinary life, apparitions, and miracles, and compelling true stories will be discussed.
I’ll also give a presentation: “Feed Your Family’s Soul: Teach the Faith and Preserve Church Tradition in Your Domestic Church” offering ways to teach the Faith in the Catholic family to encourage and equip families in their teaching roles to protect their families from the prevalent darkened culture which contradicts and tries to cancel out our Christianity. Equipped with these teachings, Catholic parents and grandparents can confidently go forward to fulfill the Catholic Church’s vision for evangelization in the family and beyond.
I will also give a testimonial talk at the dinner on Friday evening.
I hope I will see you at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion in Champion, Wisconsin this May 16 and 17! Be sure to check it out here and register. The website will be updated regularly as we approach the Marian Conference.
May God bless you in great abundance and may Mother Mary keep you safely under her mantle.
