Happy Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe!

We wish all our readers a happy and holy Festival of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Tonight, after praying the Rosary, we will have a candlelight procession from our main chapel to the Priory backyard, singing Marian hymns. A bonfire in honor of the Virgin will be lit by Boy Scout Troop 775, prayers will be said, and Our Lady’s praises will be in our hearts and on our lips.

In honor of the Holy Virgin, we offer the following for your Empress-of-the-America’s day reading:
