Why do we do this? It is vital for youth to see the larger Church and understand how our faith makes us connected to one another. This retreat allows young people open their eyes to a deeper relationship with Christ regardless of where they are in their life and experience ways to allow the Holy Spirit to take them into the amazing depths of their faith.

Event Audience: Youth in the Diocese of La Crosse in grades 9-10.

Rosary Society Bake Sale before and after Masses 12/6 & 12/7 in the St. Faustina Room.

With great joy, the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe anticipates the celebration of the Birth of Christ with the ancient tradition of the Saturday Mass of Our Lady in Advent. This pre-dawn Marian Liturgy has been offered at the Shrine for several years now during Advent. The Rorate Mass begins in the darkness of the early morning, lit only by candles, and by the time of the Consecration and Holy Communion, the sky has brightened with the dawn of a new day. As we prepare for the great Solemnity of Christmas, may we use this occasion to meditate on Our Lady’s obedient “yes” to God’s will. His Eminence Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke will be the homilist for this Mass.

Rosary Society Bake Sale before and after Masses 12/6 & 12/7 in the St. Faustina Room.

Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, will visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe on Sunday, December 7! Come for 1pm Holy Mass and stay to meet Saint Nicholas. Saint Nick, as he is affectionately known, enjoys meeting children (and their parents)! He will tell them the story of his life, how he became a Saint, and how “Saint Nicholas” became “Santa Claus.” Best of all, he loves to tell the story of the first Christmas. Saint Nicholas will hand out some little remembrances for the children and will be available for photos. Refreshments (cookies & hot chocolate) will be provided.
