Throughout our province, many of our ministries held special celebrations in honor of the December 12th Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Some were held on Gaudete Sunday in addition to the regular 3rd Week of Advent Liturgies, and some were held on the days surrounding this important Feast Day for North America. Learn more about the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

On December 11, 2021, our Siler City, NC pastoral ministry – St. Julia Catholic Community – celebrated with a Guadalupe Procession. All of the dances (see photo below), including the dancing horses, were performed before the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe (photo above). The parish honors this Feast Day with a week-long celebration.

Be sure to virtually enjoy the celebrations, liturgies and services of this vibrant parish, under the pastor ship of Our Lady of the Angels Province friar ~ Fr. Julio Martinez, OFM Conv., via their YouTube Channel, their Facebook Page, and their Website (available in English and in Español de México). If you are ever in the Siler City area, Friar Julio, the parish staff & volunteers, and all of the parishioners, would love for you to join them.
