Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe- Procession and Mass

December 5, 2023

We are excited to announce a special celebration in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe, spanning a 9-day Novena from December 2nd to December 10th starting at 6pm each evening. This sacred journey will include heartfelt prayers, reflections, and moments of unity as we come together in devotion.

On Wednesday, December 6th, our Novena will be conducted in both English and Spanish to embrace the rich diversity of our parish. Let’s celebrate our shared faith and the beauty of different languages coming together in prayer.

On Monday, December 11th, starting at 5:30pm a procession will begin followed by Mass led by Bishop Kihneman, as we offer our prayers and gratitude to Our Lady of Guadalupe. The Mass will be a beautiful culmination of our Novena, and we invite all members of our parish to attend.

Following the Mass, there will be a joyous reception in the parish hall. This will be a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together, share fellowship, and celebrate the blessings of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

We encourage everyone to attend these special events, bring friends and family, and show your support for our Blessed Seelos Parish. Your presence will add to the warmth and spirit of this celebration.

Let us come together in prayer and unity, seeking the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe for our intentions and the well-being of our community. May these nine days be a time of grace, reflection, and shared joy.

PARISH FAMILY CHRISTMAS TREE

November 20, 2023

Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ and the Christmas tree is symbolic of His birth and resurrection. It also represents the tree of life.

Please join us in decorating our church Christmas tree by bringing an ornament that you use on your own family Christmas tree. Sign your name on the tag and attach it to your ornament. Bring the ornament to the church and put it in the box at the entrance of the church. Your family ornament will be placed on the Church Christmas tree. Together, we hope that Father Daniel will look at this tree and know how much we appreciate all he is doing for us as a parish family!
