The Hyatt Regency hotel is beautiful and everyone really enjoyed it. After our private breakfast, we boarded our good air-condition bus with our driver, Mike and headed to the Norbertine Abbey for a tour. The modern architecture and art is not to my liking but when they describe it all it is intriguing.
Then to the National Shrine of Saint Joseph with the Norbertines and took another tour with Fr. Mike, and then I gave my talk on “St. Joseph, the Manly Man”.
We dropped folks off in DePere for lunch before heading to the Shrine of the Apparition of Our Lady of Champion (formerly of Good Hope). The shrine is out in the middle of farm country and even while you’re walking around, you can smell the cows in the breeze. But then again, Adele Briese was a farm girl and this is where the apparition took place.
Lovely gift shop, café, the priests heard confessions, we had adoration and prayed the Divine Mercy with lots of free times before we had Mass. Then to our Italian Restaurant and headed back to the Hyatt Regency for the night.
