Les invitamos a que recen juntos en familia.  Celebrar la fiesta de la Virgen de Guadalupe es una gran tradición de México donde ella se le apareció a San Juan Diego en el año 1531.  Aquí en San Francis de Sales mantenemos esta tradición rezando una novena del 4 al 12 de diciembre cada año. El 12 de diciembre celebramos la Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe con Misa que a menudo incluye una presentación de los eventos del encuentro de San Juan Diego con la Virgen María y cantos y bailes especiales ofrecidos a Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe.

We invite you to pray the rosary each day as a family during the nine days of the novena.  Celebrate the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe is a rich tradition from Mexico where she appeared to a poor native 500 years ago.  Here at St. Francis, we keep this tradition by praying a novena from December 4 through 12 each year.  December 12th, we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe with Mass often including a presentation of the events of St. Juan Diego meeting the Virgin Mary and special songs and dances offered to Our Lady of Guadalupe.
