Our Lady of Guadalupe

As Dec. 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, approaches, millions of pilgrims are converging on the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, one of the most visited Marian shrines in the world.

Our Lady of Guadalupe remains a source of comfort today, consistently reminding each of us that we have inherent dignity, regardless of the pain and trouble we experience in this world.

The Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe in downtown Dallas has been granted the significant designation of a national shrine by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Jockey David Cabrera has had a special devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe since he was a child. It’s something he’s continued to carry with him — literally. Cabrera, who races at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, is one of many jockeys who wear Catholic sacramentals when competing in races.

Pope Francis urged all faithful “of the pilgrim church in the Americas” to take part in the preparations for the celebration of the Fifth Centennial of the Guadalupian Apparition in 2031, which begins with the Guadalupian Intercontinental Novena Dec. 12, 2022.

The celebration, held Dec. 4, is the oldest religious procession in Los Angeles. It was established by Mexican Catholics who fled persecution by the Mexican government during the Cristero War in 1931.
