Happy Friday, Parish Family!
Each year, on December 12, the Church recalls the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe and her appearance to Juan Diego in Tepeyac, Mexico. Our Lady's encouragement effectively evangelized and converted the majority of Mexico to Catholicism. Take a few moments to listen to Bishop Robert Barron's reflection on five spiritual lessons from Juan Diego from this feast two years ago.
