Let’s Talk
"Church and the Family"

Today’s world provides plenty of challenges to living our faith and we want to provide parishioners an opportunity to help address these challenges. These conversations will give participants a chance to: share our challenges in living our faith in a secular world, understand the Church’s teachings about these challenges, and share ideas for successfully addressing these issues. We have scheduled three of these sessions, each with its own theme to keep them focused. The first of these “Let’s Talk” dialogues is Sunday October 8. Its theme is “Church and the Family”.

While participants will decide the direction of the dialogue, we expect to cover topics such as divorce and its impact on Catholics, LBGTQ and the Church and so on. Themes for the other sessions are Church and State (Catholic issues in our political landscape) and The Future of the Church (How will the Church cope with our aging population, shortage of priests, etc.). We hope you’ll join us for this exciting opportunity!

Our Lady of Guadalupe Church

First Friday is a special time of grace and blessing, as it enables us, through Eucharistic Adoration, to grow closer to Our Lord, Who is present Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the Most Blessed Sacrament. First Friday is a time to slow down a bit and receive God's love into our hearts, so we in turn can give that love to others. Eucharistic Adoration is a great way to
focus on Jesus and be refreshed in His service!

How can I get Involved in this Special Time?
Visit OLG Church and spend some quiet time in prayer with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. The church will be open after the 8:00 a.m. Mass until the Benediction at 4:00 p.m. Sign up for a half-hour of Eucharistic Adoration today. Or just show up! Call the parish office to sign up.

Sensory Friendly Mass at OLG

What is a Sensory Mass? Simply put, it’s a quieter Mass, with less stimuli. People with disabilities are always welcome to participate in all liturgies at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish. In order to better serve these individuals, the second Sunday of each month, the 11:00 a.m. Mass will provide additional accommodations. If they choose to, families and adults with disabilities can join us for Mass in the Saint Juan Diego Chapel or in the main Church.

Accommodations in the Saint Juan Diego Chapel
Private entrance via the Saint Francis Courtyard
Private bathroom
Lower volume on TV to watch Mass
Calming/quiet area
No incense
Dimmed lights

Feel free to bring comforting toys, noise-cancelling headphones, sun glasses and more to make you or your family member more comfortable.

Evening Prayer (also called Vespers) is part of the Church’s Liturgy of the Hours (or Divine Office) that the clergy pray to remain close to God throughout the day. We are all encouraged to pray these sacred prayers, and now we can do so together via Zoom!

This special prayer period is unique, because it includes music, images, and songs that create a spiritual experience and leave you feeling peaceful at the end of the day. It lasts about 20 minutes, and there is no commitment (join us any Monday you can).

For more information or to receive the Zoom link each week, email Dr. Nina Marie Corona, the new Director of Adult Faith Formation at OLG, at daff@olguadalupe.org or sign up for the Vespers group through the Flocknotes sign up the parish website homepage.
