The Society of Our Lady of Guadalupe (Society) Ministry at St. Paul Catholic Church was established in July 27, 1995. The mission of the Society is to propagate the love of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, through His Mother, the most blessed “Virgen de Guadalupe.” We are a social and spiritual organization.
We have several activities throughout the year including fund raisers to accomplish our goals, agendas, charity contributions, maintaining the Virgen de Guadalupe statue, pray the rosary, and participate in the annual Fall Church Festival. We attend Corporate Communion as a group once a month.
The culmination of our yearly activities is celebrating and paying tribute to Our Lady of Guadalupe by organizing and participating at an annual Mass (Las Mañanitas) on December 12 in commemoration of her miraculous apparitions in the year 1531. On the evening of the same day, other church groups put on a reenactment of the Virgen's apparitions.
The organization meets monthly in the church facilities normally at 11:00 am on Saturdays. At times throughout the year, we participate in meetings and activities on a regional diocesan basis with other Society organizations.
Our Spiritual Director is Deacon Michael Marchek. The organization is open to all.
For additional information, we encourage anyone who is interested to call the church office and they will contact you with one of the Society board members.
