Come join us on a one-day pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin! With her feast day just days before and Christmas days after, we will come to know the story and mystery of Christmas in a deeper and more profound way as we unpack the message that she shared with St. Juan Diego to evangelize the Americas. There is a reason why St. Pope John Paul II gave her the title, “Star of the New Evangelization.”
