Embracing pilgrimage
First source report
Nearly 50 people recently traveled to Belgium on a pilgrimage led by Bishop David Ricken to study the early life of Adele Brice. Brice, a Servant of God whose cause for canonization is active, immigrated to northeast Wisconsin in 1855.
The pilgrimage focused on how the history, culture, and faith of Belgium shaped Brice before her immigration. Participants visited sites connected to her years in the country. The journey was inspired by Brice's 1859 encounter with the Blessed Mother in Champion, a Church-approved Marian apparition.
