Travelling Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe

All parishes are participating in the preparation year through the regular recitation of the prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe that was composed for this purpose and distributed to them.  In addition, parishes can engage families to pray together and prepare for consecration by hosting a travelling image of Our Lady of Guadalupe in their homes for a week during this year.  


 

Some ideas for parishes to engage their parishioners:

1. Hold a  movie night on the meaning and message of Our Lady of Guadalupe’s apparitions 

      2. Hold a Bible Study on Mary 
Mary: A Biblical Walk with the Blessed Mother



     
     3. Run a book study on Our Lady of Guadalupe  
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of The Civilization of Love is a great one!

     
     4. Hold an Awakening Evening with one of the diocesan preachers commencing in February.
