Adele Brice, T.O.S.F., (January 30, 1831-July 5, 1896) was a Belgium-born American who experienced a series of visions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1859 in what is now Green Bay, Wisconsin. This led to the founding of a shrine to honor the apparitions. This event has been officially recognized by the bishops of the United States as an authentic Marian apparition in the United States, the only one to be so recognized in the country.
