DEVOCIÓN Y VENERACIÓN PARA NUESTRA SEÑORA DE GUADALUPE. Yo creo que honramos a Dios y a Su Madre maravillosamente en nuestra celebración de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. Es con devoción y veneración que le damos verdadero honor y gloria a Dios. Muchas gracias a todos los que ayudaron para que este díafueraposible. ¡Enparticularmente muchas gracias a Juan Cervantes y a sus Mariachis que cantaron la música para la Misa, los Danzantes que le bailaron a Nuestra Señora, a la familia Macias que prepararon un almuerzo delicioso para 1,000 personas! También a los que ayudaron a servir la comida y a limpiar después de la comida. A Andrea Nemesszeghy quien coordinó y ayudó a llevar a cabo todos los detalles. ¡Que Dios sea alabado hoy y por siempre!

DEVOTION AND VENERATION TO OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE. I believe we honored God and His Mother beautifully in our celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe. It is with devotion and veneration that we give her true honor and glorify God. Thank you to all who helped make the day possible. A particular thank you Juan Cervantes and the Mariachis who played the music for Mass, the Danzantes who danced for Our Lady, and the Macias family who prepared a delicious lunch for 1000 people! As well as all those who helped serve and clean up after the meal. To Andrea Nemesszeghy who coordinated and helped carry out all of the details. May God be praised now and forever!
