The procession will begin at Our Lady of Sorrows Church and conclude at the Shrine of St. Francis Xavier & Our Lady of Guadalupe where Mass will be celebrated.
December 12 is the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Our Lady sent St. Juan Diego with miraculous flowers in his cloak to tell the bishop to build a church where people could receive her Son and her loving, tender care.

Catholics across the diocese are invited to participate!
