WISCONSIN - Our Lady of Good Help near Champion has always had a strong showing at its May Celebration. “It used to be just a local event with 200 to 300 people,” said Karen Tipps, a caretaker for the church. This year, the shrine's event drew about 700 visitors. “It's a lot of out of town people,” said Tipps. Tipps says things have picked up since last December when Bishop David Ricken made Our Lady of Good Help the first bishop recognized apparition site in the United States. The holy site is funded solely from donations. [link]
