The Mission of Sister Adele:
Adele was so convinced by her encounter with Our Blessed Mother that, from the time of the vision until her death, she devoted her life to the work that the Virgin Mary commissioned her to perform. So, with confidence in the promise made to her by the Blessed Virgin Mary, Adele Brise began catechizing the children and admonishing sinners throughout the Bay Settlement and the Green Bay Peninsula. Weather conditions, fatigue, lack of education, dangers of the forest, and ridicule did not deter Adele's duty to Our Lady's request to her. Adele would venture up and down the peninsula, as far as fifty miles from her home, to accomplish her mission.
In 1865, the Reverend Philip Crud was appointed pastor of the Belgian colony. Impressed with the sincerity of Adele and the success of her work, Father Crud advised Adele to recruit help for her assigned mission. He urged her to appeal for funds, and to build a convent and school so, in Sister Pauline's words, those in need of religious instruction "could come to her instead of her going to seek them." Enlisting others in her efforts would allow Adele to conserve her health and strength. With a letter of recommendation from Father Crud, Adele and an English-speaking companion, Sister Marguerite Allard, set out to solicit funds around the Green Bay Peninsula. One individual Adele and Marguerite encountered in their fundraising travels was Eliza Allen Starr, author of the book Patron Saints. Starr journaled her meeting with Adele in the book:
"On one of the warmest days of this last summer, coming into my little parlor, I saw two women seated there, dressed in black serge gowns and cloaks, and wearing bonnets exactly like the cape-bonnets that little girls wear. Theirs were made of black berège with narrow strips of pasteboard run in, to make them stand out from the face. It gave an air of rustic humility to their costume. I welcomed them as ‘Sisters' of some order unknown to me, and found that only the youngest one could speak English; but a letter in choice French from Rev. Father P______ from Robinsonville (Champion), near Green Bay in Wisconsin, gave me a clue to the mystery before me. It introduced me to Sister Adele, a humble Belgian woman to whom had been granted undoubtedly, an apparition of our Blessed Lady, leaving her to tell me, through her young interpreter, the story of her graces and of her labors.
The following information is taken from The Green Bay Compass and this link: http://www.thecompassnews.org/2010/12/guided-by-mary-adele-brise-taught-children-about-catholic-faith/
"One of Sr. Adele's students was 6-year-old Odile Allard, who arrived at St. Mary's Academy with her baby sister after their mother died. Odile, (later Sr. Marie du Sacré Coeur) stayed until she was 15. "I don't remember that there were less than a hundred children, the year around at the Chapel, mostly orphans," she wrote in a letter to the sisters at Bay Settlement.
The first shrine chapel was built by Adele's father. It measured 10 feet by 12 feet and was located near the spot where Mary appeared to Adele. A larger chapel was built in 1865. The present chapel was completed in 1942. The altar in its crypt stands over the site of the reported visions. Logs from the trees between which Adele said Mary appeared can be seen in a display case in the shrine's gift shop."
In Regards to the apparition that Sister Adele Brice witnessed it was said/printed in the following from the information published on the Shrine http://archive.is/wuZb#selection-389.0-403.456
"...Despite the lack of official diocesan recognition of the apparition, and due to the increased demands on the original Chapel, pastoral sanction was given in 1880 for the building of a new, larger Chapel, school and convent. The new brick Chapel was built directly over the trees on the site where the Blessed Virgin had appeared to Sister Adele. The new Chapel was formally dedicated with a blessing from Bishop Krautbauer, in October of 1880. Recalling Sister Adele and the building of the 1880 Chapel, a student at the Chapel, Soeur Marie du Sacré Coeur once stated:
"I remember well, when I was about eight years old, we would pray and sing hymns around the trees where the Virgin Mother had appeared to Sister Adele. I also remember when the brick Chapel was built, and the precious trees were cut down to build the Chapel, and the altar placed on the spot."
It wasn't long after the new brick Chapel was built that Sister Adele received the funds needed to build a new convent and school. "God's benediction rested visibly on Adele's work. Alms came in freely and in 1885 the new Home was built. It was a large building, well fitted for the end in view. Besides a large basement with kitchen, pantry and dining room for both Sisters and children, they had the first floor with a classroom and playroom for the children, a sitting room and a dormitory for the Sisters and a parlor. On the second floor was the children's dormitory" — Odile Allard...."
