Name: Celebrate Our Lady of Guadalupe's Feast
Start: 2025-12-12T17:30:00-05:00
Location: Saint Paul Cathedral Parish

Over four days in December 1531, the Blessed Mother appeared to Juan Diego on Tepeyac Hill as he walked to Mass. She asked him to tell the bishop to build a shrine to her on Tepeyac so that everyone in America would see God’s mercy.
Juan Diego obeyed. When the bishop asked for a sign, she made Spanish roses bloom in winter and arranged them in Juan Diego’s cloak for him to carry to the bishop. When the cloak was opened, the roses fell away, revealing her brilliantly colored image. The bishop built the shrine, which draws up to 20 million visitors yearly.
Come to celebrate Our Lady of Guadalupe on her Dec. 12 feast at Saint Paul Cathedral.

The event includes:
-Eucharistic adoration: 5:30 p.m.; Rosary: 6 p.m.; Mass: 7 p.m.
-Mariachi musicians play for the procession as people carry flags of the Americas and sing hymns in several languages.
-Led by the bishop, participants present flowers to Our Lady of Guadalupe.
-The rosary and homily are bilingual.

All are welcome!
