✠ A Mission of Pilgrimage and Presence
I (Bro. Eric Michel) am honoured to serve as a volunteer promoting pilgrimage at the
National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion, formerly known as the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help, the only Church-approved Marian apparition site in the United States.
As part of this mission, I am a member of the Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary at Our Lady of Champion in Wisconsin, dedicated to prayer, evangelization, and deepening devotion to the Holy Rosary.
✠ A Bridge Between Champion and Lourdes
I (Bro. Eric Michel) am also a member of Our Lady of Lourdes Hospitality North American Volunteers, serving pilgrims at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, one of the world’s most beloved Marian pilgrimage sites.

Through this service, I help foster encounters with grace, healing,
and renewal, both physical and spiritual.
Not everyone can travel to Lourdes…
But Lourdes can come to you.
The Virtual Pilgrimage Experience® is a powerful outreach that recreates the spirit and devotion of Lourdes within your own parish community.
- A reverent and immersive experience
- Marian prayer, Rosary, and reflection
- A faithful representation of the Lourdes message
- Open to all—free of charge
We will come to your church and help your community enter into the heart of Lourdes its peace, its call to conversion, and its profound hope.
✠ Invitation
Whether you journey in person to Champion or Lourdes,
or welcome the Lourdes experience into your own parish…
You are invited to step into a pilgrimage of the heart
a path of prayer, healing, and encounter with Our Lady.
