Faith Along the Road: The Belgian Roadside Chapels of Northeastern Wisconsin

In the state of Wisconsin where the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to a Belgian immigrant named Adele Brise in 1859, a cultural devotion from her homeland would make its way into the local community, that of roadside (or wayside, votive) chapels dedicated to Jesus, Mary, and the saints. The Belgian Roadside Chapels of Northeastern Wisconsin serve as a place for devotion for locals and pilgrims alike as they seek the intercession of saints both popular and unknown. Join Fr. Edward Looney, host of Faith Along the Road as he brings you to these chapels, shares their history, and helps to tell their story.
