"Viva la Virgen de Guadalupe"

On Sunday, December 12, 2021, faithful from across our Diocese gathered at the Cathedral of Saint Patrick to celebrate The Annual Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Very Reverend Laurence LaPointe celebrated the Mass. Reverend Luis Henry Agudelo delivered a stirring Homily bookended by the words "Viva la Virgen de Guadalupe!" Upbeat mariachi music and a beautiful rendition of Ave Maria were among the many musical highlights.

Full video below. Enjoy!

“Do not let anything worry you; do not fear sickness, accident or pain. Am I not here, she who is your Mother? Are you not in the fold of my arms and under my protection? Is there anything else you need?”
Words of Our Lady to Juan Diego and to you.

Living the Longing: Finding God in the Quiet of Advent- A Reflection by Bishop Reidy

I love the Advent Season. I love it not just for what it leads to – the joyful celebration of Christ’s birth at Bethlehem. I love Advent for itself: a season of longing, expectation, and hope.

Padre Pio’s Devotional Joy Leads Us to the Christmas Open House

*Padre Pio and the Humble Mystery of the Incarnation* For Padre Pio, the heart of December was never noise or celebration—it was wonder.

Witnesses often noted that even the mention of the Infant Jesus brought a tenderness to his face and a quiet reverence to his voice. Though Padre Pio did not write extensively about the liturgical days leading up to Christmas, th...
