Why Our Lady of Guadalupe? |
|
Our Lady of Guadalupe has been chosen as the patroness of our school because she is the Patroness of North America.
She has captured our attention by her influence that led to the conversion of over 8 million souls to Catholicism over a span of just seven years, the most miraculous conversion known in the history of the Church.
Pope John Paul II said
“I desire to direct my thoughts to Our Lady of Guadalupe, Star of the first and of the new evangelization of America. To her I entrust the Church which pilgrims in the American Continent, “continent of hope” and I ardently ask her to accompany her children as we enter with faith and hope in the Third Millennium.” (Homily of Pope John Paul II in the Basilica of Guadalupe, 1999)
We implore Our Lady’s prayers to help us be energetic, enthusiastic and creative in our mission of sharing the Gospel with our students and all the souls in Dubois County.
