Pilgrimage to Our Lady of Guadalupe - April 29-May 5, 2025
In thanksgiving for the 70 years of service of our missionaries, we are going on a pilgrimage to the shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. The pilgrimage will take place from April 29 through May 5, 2025. We will pay our respects to Our Lady of Guadalupe and visit other spiritually, culturally and historically significant sites in and around Mexico City, for example, the spectacular cities of Puebla and Tlaxcala, the unforgettable Xochimilco (so-called Venice of Mexico), the impressive archeological site of Teotihuacan, and others. We're sorry, but registration has now closed. However, you can still share your prayer intentions with us here, and our pilgrims will keep them in their thoughts during daily masses.
