The weather is nice today, but I’m not sure I would climb the bell towers at Holy Hill during a thunderstorm. The third and present church on the site was completed 1931. A diary found, which dated to 1676, described how the author dedicated the hill to Jesus’s mother Mary after making a stone altar and raising a cross, which corresponds with the late 1600s Jesuit missionary work in the area. Holy Hill Basilica and National Shrine of Mary, Help of Christian is located in southeast Wisconsin.
