On Friday, December 12, 2008 we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Not only is it a very special celebration for Mexico, it is also a time when we pray for all of America: North, Central and South. We are blessed in this paris with the presence of many men and women from Mexico, or of Mexican descent.

As we honor Mary on this day, we do so with a Mexican flavor.

  1. A bilingual Mass at 6:00 pm
  2. A procession with the image of Our Lady
  3. A social in the Hall where people from North, Central and South America (and anywhere else in the world) can gather. For the social, the parish will provide hot chocolate, coffee, tea, etc. Parishioners are as to bring deserts to share.

Note: There is no 8:00 am mass on Friday, December 12, 2008.
