Sketching at Holy Hill Basilica and National Shrine

Join us on Saturday, October 25th for a relaxing morning of sketching at the historic and scenic Holy Hill Basilica in Hubertus! This weekend in particular will feature Holy Hill's beautiful fall foliage at its peak, you won't want to miss it!

"Some make the pilgrimage to Holy Hill to worship, to meditate or to pray for healing. Some come to admire the beautiful architecture of the neo-Romanesque church built in 1926. Others come as sightseers or hikers. Families frequently come to participate in Sunday liturgy and remain to picnic on the wooded grounds. Many ethnic groups continue a tradition of yearly pilgrimages that can be traced to Holy Hill's earliest beginnings. Regardless of what brings people to Holy Hill, they are bound to be touched by its peaceful environment and to be renewed in body, mind and spirit.

Holy Hill was declared a Shrine with "Portiuncula privilege" by Pope Leo XIII in 1903. As a result of the increasing number of pilgrims, the Discalced Carmelites of Bavaria were invited to staff the Shrine in 1906. On November 19, 2006, the Shrine was elevated to the status of minor Basilica."

Admission and parking are completely free of charge.

What to bring: Your favorite drawing and sketching supplies

We will initially be meeting up as a group next to Holy Hill's cafe, which is located just south of the Basilica at the base of the stairs. Look for the folks with the sketchbooks!
