Talks on Our Lady of Guadalupe: November 25-30
In advance of the annual procession in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe Dec. 2, Father Antonio Garnica, pastor of Sagrado Corazon y Santa Maria de Guadalupe Church in Cudahy, will offer several talks in Spanish about the significance of the symbols in the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
The symbols would have been understood by the Aztec people in Mexico whom the Virgin was evangelizing in a very special way through her apparitions to St. Juan Diego, said Father Garnica.
---Nov. 25 at St. Mary Church, 407 S. Chicago St., Los Angeles; Mass at 12:30 p.m. followed by the talk.

---Nov. 30 at Our Lady of Loretto Church, 250 N. Union Ave, Los Angeles
