Greetings!
On this 3rd Sunday of Advent, the Church coincidentally celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe – the event of the apparition of the Blessed Mother to Juan Diego, who is now a Saint. If one were to look at the icon of Our Lady, she is depicted as a pregnant woman, waiting to give birth – making her a perfect image of Advent as this season is about hopeful waiting for the coming of Christ. But what does “to wait” mean? Read More...
Read on to learn more about the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Christmas and New Year Mass schedule, hospitality update, and more!
God Bless,
Fr. Ritche
