On December 12th, the Church celebrates the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe to St. Juan Diego in 1531. The tilma with her image worn by St. Juan Diego is still miraculously intact after nearly 500 years and is on display at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. In 1999 Pope John Paul II declared her Patroness of all the Americas and in 2002 canonized St. Juan Diego.
We will have a special mass on December 12th at 5 am sponsored by Our Lady of Guadalupe Society, with a reception immediately following.
