History of the sanctuary
En octubre de 1859, la Virgen María se apareció a Adele Brise, una joven inmigrante belga. La Virgen le dijo: «Soy la Reina del Cielo, que rezo por la conversión de los pecadores.»
In 2010, the Bishop of Green Bay, David Ricken, officially approved the apparitions. The sanctuary receives thousands of pilgrims each year.
