OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE- There will be a special Mass on Tuesday, December 12 at 7:00 P.M. in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patron saint of the Americas. The Mass will be bilingual and will be sponsored by Brazos Abiertos, the Hispanic ministry that has been meeting here at St. Joseph’s for the past year. There will be a mariachi band at the Mass and at the reception that will follow in our church hall, which will have many traditional dishes from Mexico. And at 5:00 A.M. that morning, we will have “las mañanitas” which is a beautiful ritual in which the Blessed Mother is serenaded.
