In the spirit of the Holy Family of Nazareth, the mission of Our Lady of Guadalupe parish is to be a humble, bilingual, pro-life, pro-family Catholic Community, joyfully announcing the Gospel. We welcome all to religious education in the fullness of Truth entrusted to the Church. We invite all to celebrate with reverence and unity the real presence of Christ in the rites of our Liturgy. We call our members to the humble obedience of faith and to sacrificial service for the sake of building up the Body of Christ.

Prayer to the Holy Spouses for Church during the Closures
In this sad time when our churches are closed, we turn to you Mary, Mother of our dear Church, and to you St. Joseph, Patron of our Church, now in great need. Holy Spouses, most intimately related to Body of Christ, we ask for your powerful intervention at this time. We implore you not only for protection from physical death and illness, but even more for spiritual life and health, and for a prompt return to full access to the grace of the Sacraments, the greatest means to Eternal Life.
Enlighten the minds and hearts of our civil authorities to act with integrity, prudence, a sense of proportion, and a respect for human and religious liberty, so that their policies may not so absolutize public health safety as to disproportionately curtail the fundamental human, social, mental, emotional, financial, and especially the religious needs of the people they are called to serve.
Above all, dearest Mary and Joseph, fill our Pope and Bishops with the wisdom, courage, fortitude, and zeal to be light, salt, and leaven in finding the manner to defend, lead, preserve, and renew the Church, as the city on a mountain top for the salvation of our dark, divided, confused, and suffering world.
The Holy Spouses Rosary Prayer
Mary, full of grace, and Joseph, Son of David; honor to you, Mother of God, and to you, guardian of the Redeemer. Eternal praise to the Child with whom you formed a family, Jesus.
Holy Spouses, pray for us sinners, our families, and communities, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Please pray the above prayer and the Holy Spouses Rosary (htpps://holyspouses.org) frequently until our parish communities are able to return unrestricted, not only to their former freedom to worship, but to an even more vibrant life of faith
