“Am I not here, I who am your Mother? Is there anything else you need?”
~ Our Lady’s words to Juan Diego in Tepeyac Hill, Mexico
The Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico commemorates the Blessed Mother’s appearance to Juan Diego and honors her request that a Shrine be built in her honor. Embark on a pilgrimage to the miraculous image of Our Lady of Guadalupe stamped on the cloak of Juan Diego since 1531. Join a 14-day Pilgrimage to Califonia and Mexico with a Pilgrimage Chaplain leaving on October 14, 2021.
Begin your pilgrimage at the Mission of San Francisco de Asis, situated in the heart of San Francisco City, California. Considered as the oldest building in the city, much of the original church interior is still intact. Next stop is the Mission of San Juan Bautista, the 15th of the Spanish missions. Fr. Tapis’ choir of Native American boys used to perform for many visitors, earning the San Juan Bautista Mission the nickname “the Mission of Music.” Head for Monterey to visit San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo Mission, well known to be St. Junipero Serra’s favorite. Enjoy a scenic drive to San Luis Obispo to visit the Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa. The mission is the halfway point in the chain and is referred to as the “Prince of Missions. “
After a restful night in Santa Barbara, the pilgrimage proceeds to Solvang to visit the Mission Sta. Ines, known as the “hidden gem of the missions.” Next stop is Mission Santa Barbara, dubbed as the “Queen of the Missions.”
En route to Los Angeles, stop in Ventura to visit the San Buenaventura Mission. This was the final mission to be built during the lifetime of St. Junipero Serra. It is the only mission in California that contains wooden bells. Arriving in Los Angeles, visit the Mission San Gabriel Archangel. Founded by St. Junipero Serra, its fortress-like structure distinguishes it from any other mission.
Take a flight from Los Angeles to Mexico City to continue your pilgrimage.
The highlight of this pilgrimage is a visit to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, the patroness of the Americas. Our Lady of Guadalupe is the title given to the Blessed Virgin Mary after she appeared to Juan Diego in the village of Guadalupe by Tepeyac Hill in Mexico. This encounter brought about the miracle: the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary imprinted on the tilma (cloak) of Juan Diego. Celebrate Mass at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. See the original sacrosanct tilma enshrined and offer your prayers before her miraculous image.
The Shrine of Guadalupe is considered the holiest place in the Western Hemisphere. Join a Pilgrimage to Califonia and Mexico with a Pilgrimage Chaplain leaving on October 14, 2021. May this pilgrimage bring each pilgrim closer to Mary, who, like a Mother, looks upon her children with tenderness, with mercy and with love.
