Why is Our Lady of Guadalupe So Important? Join us for a simple lunch and a program that will explain not only what happened and why this devotion is so important to Mexicans, but also why devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe has spread all up and down the Americas and beyond. The program will be after the 10:30am Mass for about an hour next Sunday, December 11th in the parish hall. All are welcome!
Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe: From Dec. 3rd to 10th our community prays the rosary each day in a different person’s home. Joining the Hispanic families in their homes for this devotion would be a great way to show your solidarity with them and acceptance of them in our community during this time where many are feeling rejection and fear. If you would like to join us you can ride with Patti, just let her know! There’s great food each night!
Parish Council will meet TUESDAY, December 13th at 6pm. If you have something that needs to be added to the agenda please let one of the members know.
