MADISON — St. Raphael Cathedral Parish will hold its annual celebration of the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe at Holy Redeemer Church, 120 W. Johnson St., on December 11 and 12.
While Mary has long been the patron saint of Mexico, St. John Paul II proclaimed her the Patroness of the Americas in 1999. Juan Diego, to whom Mary appeared in 1531, was canonized in 2002, making him the first Amerindian saint.
Today people across Latin America — not only Mexicans — venerate Our Lady of Guadalupe, including many Latin American immigrants in the United States.
MADISON — La Parroquia de la Catedral tendrá su celebración anual de la Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe en la Santa Iglesia de Holy Redeemer, el 11 y 12 de diciembre.
Si bien María ha sido durante mucho tiempo la patrona de México, el Papa Santo Juan Pablo II la proclamó Patrona de las Américas en 1999. Juan Diego, a quien María se apareció en 1531, fue canonizado en 2002, convirtiéndose en el primer santo amerindio. Actualmente gente en toda América Latina — no sólo mexicanos — veneran a nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. Eso incluye a muchos inmigrantes latinoamericanos en los Estados Unidos. “Para nuestra comunidad inmigrante, la Virgen de Guadalupe representa la espera, la esperanza y los motivos para seguir viviendo, y luchando en este mundo.” (Pbro. José Eugenio Hoyos — Diócesis de Arlington, Va.)

Dear Friends,
Thanksgiving is at the heart of what we do and who we are as a faithful Catholic people.
And so, while there is a great deal to be terribly concerned about in our world, in our nation, and in our own part of the country, there is also a great deal for which we each can offer our thanks to God — which is the origin and the reason for the holiday that is upon us.
On a personal level, I have a great deal for which to be thankful.
In terms of my friends and those with whom I am blessed to serve, I am just that — terribly blessed. Thanks be to God, it’s been another year of good health, and for that too, I cannot fail to be thankful.
