  • Day 1: Depart Oklahoma City Airport for Milwaukee, WI. Upon arrival we transfer by deluxe motor coach to visit The Basilica of St. Josephat, located nearby. The Basilica is a Franciscan center for prayer and spiritu-ality, inspiration and beauty. It is also home to a vibrant Roman Catholic parish and remains a testament to the faith of the Polish immigrants who created it. Following our visit there, we then enjoy a short ride to The Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary Help of Christians at Holy Hill in nearby Hubertus. As early as 1903, Holy Hill was declared a Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians. In 2006, the Shrine was raised to the status of Minor Basilica. As far back as the 1700s and earlier, the Native Americans came to Holy Hill because they considered it a sacred place. We finnish our day with an interesting tour and tasting at the Miller Company. Dinner.Overnight Milwaukee

    Day 2: Following breakfast we proceed to the National Shrine of St. Philomena in Briggsville in honor of her feast day. St. Philomena made her entry into Briggsville on the last Sunday of August, 1947, and the outdoor shrine dedicated to her honor was started on August 8, 1949. It was planned as a replica of the dungeon where the young martyr, St. Philomena, had suffered and died to preserve her virginity. Following our visit we are off to the Dickeyville Grotto. Created in stone, mortar and bright colored objects (collected materials from all over the world), there are several shrines in the Grotto garden including; the Grotto of the Blessed Virgin, a patriotic shrine, the sacramental shrine of the Holy Eucharist, the Sacred Heart shrine, a Christ the King shrine, a Ftima shrine, as well as the Stations of the Cross. These shrines are located in a beautiful floral garden area surrounding the Holy Ghost Church. Following a lunch stop we are off to Lake Delton for a Wisconson Duck Tour to enjoy the beautiful rock formations along the Wisconson River. We then finish our day in La Crosse and the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, which welcomes tens of thou-sands of visitors each year for devotions to Our Lady as well as to obtain a plenary indulgence for a deceased loved one. Diner. Overnight La Crosse

    Day 3: After breakfast we depart via motor coach to visit the Rudolph Grotto & Gardens in Rudolph. The Rudolph Grotto Gardens are set in a beautiful area of trees and flowers with man-made rock surroundings. Paths cover over five acres of gardens that are bright with flowers, plants and trees. The gardens and shrines provide a spiritual setting where one can spend quiet moments contemplating the wonders of God and creation as well as pray at one of the many statues located among the trails. Following a break for lunch we then proceed to De Pere and the National Shrine of St. Joseph at St. Norbert Abby, whos motto is Prepared for All Good Works. We then finish our day with a short trip to New Franken and the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help. On these grounds over 150 years ago, the Holy Mother appeared to the young Adele Brise and instructed her to teach the children in the faith. This is where Sister Adele began her work and inspired the efforts of generations of faithful Christians who come here annually to honor Mary. This is the only Vatican-aproved Marian aperition site in the U.S. Dinner. Overnight New Franken

    Day 4: Following breakfast we depart for Milwalkee for a tour of Marquette University and the St. Joan of Arc Chappel. Before departing for the airport, we make our way to the Stanislaus Oratory. With a renewed love for Marys intercession in our lives and her loving care we proceed to the Milwaukee Airport for our flight home.
