Last year from May through October, thousands joined the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion in praying for each Bishop by name across the U.S. through the Shepherd Project. Starting May 1st, we will embark on this season of prayer again, and you are invited to join us.

We will begin by praying for our Bishops in Wisconsin (where the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion is located) and continue across the United States and U.S. territories until each Bishop and his Diocese is prayed for. We have great confidence that our Blessed Mother will intercede for us and that our Lord hears our prayers for our Nation’s Shepherds.

On the grounds of the National Shrine, a candle will be lit for our Shepherds in the Apparition Oratory and each day’s Bishop will be prayed for during daily Mass at 11:00 a.m.
