We leave South Park Mall by Dillards at 6:00 a.m. and arrive at Our Lady of Champion at 11:30 a.m. We proceed to Mother Mercy Hall for a private Mass with Father Mark DeSutter as Celebrant. After Mass, we have lunch and time to explore the grounds. We leave at 3:30 p.m. and return to Moline by 9:00 p.m.
The cost is $122.00 which includes the bus, gratuity for the driver, lunch and supper. CLICK HERE to download the registration form in advance. Please drop off all registrations and payments at the parish office. Registrations are due by September 1st.
This is a wonderful opportunity to experience the only Apparition of Our Lady in the United States of America.
Check out the book Champions of the Rosary in Blessings Gift Shop. It is a great read and adds to the history of the deadliest fire in recorded history and the miracle that happened.
