Altar & Rosary Pilgrimage

On October 23-24, 2017 St. Anthony

Altar & Rosary is hosting an overnight bus trip to

Champion, Wisc., where we will visit the Shrine of

Our Lady of Good Help. It was here that our

Blessed Mother appeared to a Belgian girl and

this is our nation’s only sanctioned Marian

apparition site. Then we will visit Door County to

complete the trip. This trip is open to all

parishioners of St. Anthony & Sacred Heart.

There are 36 available seats. The excursion

promises to be a spiritual and fun filled time, as

we take in the autumn colors.
