Our Lady of Champion Mary Doll | Catholic Apparition Doll for First Communion

Another beautiful Catholic Mary doll custom made for our shop. Our Lady of Champion is the only North American approved apparition. There is a beautiful shrine in Wisconsin at the location of the visit.

In 1869 in an area near today's Champion, Wisconsin, USA, Adele Brise, a Belgian immigrant encountered a "Beautiful Lady dressed in white" between a spruce hemlock tree and a maple. By instruction of her priest after Mass, Adele asked the dazzling lady after her third apparition, "Who are you?" Mary responded, “I am the Queen of Heaven who prays for the conversion of sinners, and I wish you to do the same." She was told to gather together the children in this remote area and teach them the truths they must know for their salvation; teach them the catechism; teach them how to bless themselves with the Sign of the Cross; and teach them how to approach the sacraments.

Our doll maker is truly an artist! She is a Catholic friend who creates our doll designs exclusively for our shop. The cotton is organic pima. Being made in small batches by hand keeps the designs angelic and holy. Read some of the reviews for our other dolls and you will see how loved each doll is. The weight is heavy-duty and the dolls are meant to be well-loved and played with. They can also withstand the washing machine on delicate, cold.

Our Lady of Champion is 14 inches tall.
