Honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe

Parishes throughout the diocese celebrated the Dec. 12 feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Masses, fiestas, Las Manańitas (early morning serenades) and apparitions shows (re-enactments of Our Lady’s appearances to St. Juan Diego in 1531) were a part of many celebrations.
