Master Planning and Liturgical Design
Champion, WI

Rohn & Associates Design was honored to develop the vision and liturgical master plan for the new National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help in Champion, Wisconsin. This sacred Catholic pilgrimage site, where Sister Adele Brise experienced an apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary, continues to draw the faithful from around the world seeking prayer, renewal, and healing.

​

Our work focused on expanding the Shrine to better serve pilgrims while preserving its Catholic history and traditions. From the Sister Adele Brise Welcome Center to the Apparition Grove and culminating in the Apparition Chapel, the design provides a clear and prayerful path for worship and devotion. The master plan addressed liturgical spaces, acoustics, art, iconography, and symbolic elements that reflect both the universal Church and the unique character of the apparition.

​

Through thoughtful liturgical design and collaboration, we sought to amplify the Blessed Mother’s message to Sister Adele and create an inspiring environment that deepens faith and supports the Shrine’s growing role as a destination of Catholic pilgrimage.
