Holy Hill, Wisconsin. About 25 miles Northwest of Milwaukee in Washington County. Highway 41 north to Holy Hill Road, then west 7 miles to the hill. Holy Hill was a sacred site to the Native Peoples of this area for many centuries. The story goes that back in the 17th century a hermit in Quebec heard of this place and made his way here. It has been a Catholic shrine ever since. Today stands the huge church, the Basilica of Mary Help of Christians atop the hill and a very large Carmelite Monastery. The hill is the highest point in southeastern Wisconsin. Many cures of illnesses have taken place here. Crutches and braces line the walls of the Marian Chapel within the Church. The place is tranquil, welcoming to anyone of any faith, and definitely sacred. Thank you very much. – DJ
