Did you know that Our Lady appeared in Wisconsin in 1859 with a message for the U.S.A.?
Born in Belgium, Adele Brise immigrated to the United States with her family and settled in Wisconsin on a 240-acre farm. A few years after she arrived, Adele was walking to the mill. When she returned from the mill with fresh flour, Adele was suddenly startled by a strange light in the trees. As she watched, the blinding light slowly began to change into the shape of a woman!
The message Our Lady proceeded to give Adele would change her life forever…

Another important Catholic story from the United States:
While so many Catholic stories take place in Europe, this charming story takes place right here in the U.S.A….
on the banks of Lake Leelanau in Michigan!
In this gentle and moving picture book, read the TRUE STORY of a peaceful little Catholic village in Michigan where the bells ring out to announce the time of the Angelus and to announce births, weddings, and deaths.
In this village, a pair of twins was born. But one of the twins isn’t doing well…born with a condition that stops her from being able to swallow, baby Irene is put under the care of her wise and loving grandmother.
Katie Warner shares, “What a peaceful read for families. It beautifully weaves our faith into everyday life and prayer, and inspires readers to have hope, thank God for His goodness, and relish our gifts, places, and blessings, as well as the story He is writing with our lives.”
Theoni Bell comments that, “The story gives a glimpse at Catholic culture which is usually only seen in stories from Old Europe. Yet, it’s Michigan! Irene’s story touches a longing for our children to know simpler times, times when life was more integrated with the faith and thus more filled with joy.”
