In the past ten years, Wisconsin has become a place of pilgrimage. Our Lady of Champion Shrine has been established as a significant site. It is the only official Marian apparition site in the United States. Further, Holy Hill just west of Milwaukee has been a place for pilgrims for over a hundred years. A group of Roman Catholics have established a pilgrimage trail known as The Wisconsin Way which connects these two sites. We're working with them to further pilgrimage in our state and deepen ecumenical relations.
To that end, The Guardians started The Walsingham Way-Wisconsin. This pilgrim trail extends from Nashotah House to the shrine. We are in the process of establishin hiking and biking routes. In the meantime, the pilgrimage can be done three possible ways:
The Long Way extends from Nashotah to the shrine. It takes ten days to hike. More information is coming soon.
The Middle Way extends from All Saint's Church in Elkhart, Wisconsin to the shrine. It takes one to two days to hike.
The Little Way extends from St. Peter's Parish in Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin to the Shrine. It takes half a day to a day to hike.
