On December 12th, the Shrine community celebrated the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Patroness of the Americas and the Unborn. Photos are from Holy Mass with a Spanish/English homily, the Blessing of Roses, the Blessing of Expectant Mothers, followed by a Fiesta with refreshments and a Traditional Serenade of Our Lady by a Mariachi Band.
Many thanks to Fr. Elias, pastor of St. Thomas', for generously allowing the Shrine and its community to use the Church for major feasts while our National Shrine to Christ the King is being restored.
