Saint-Brice Church — Tournai, Belgium | ViaPins

Adele Brice, T. O.

Adele Brice, T.O.S.F. (January 30, 1831 – July 5, 1896) was a Belgian-born American Catholic laywoman and Marian visionary who reported a series of visions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1859 in what is now Champion, Wisconsin, then a rural Belgian Catholic settlement. Following these reported apparitions, Brice established a small chapel and school at the site. In 2010, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Green Bay formally declared the apparitions “worthy of belief”, making it the first Marian apparition site in the United States to receive such approval from the Catholic Church. The chapel was raised to the status of a national shrine by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in 2016.
