There will be a special Mass on Thursday, 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 such a wonderful part of our St. Joseph’s family. A reception 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. All are welcome and we hope you can attend these special celebrations and pay honor to our Mother.
