COMITE GUADALUPANO
En septiembre del año 2000, un grupo de personas se organizaron para celebrarle a la Virgen de Guadalupe en su día. Como solo tenían tres meses para ello, decidieron trabajar duro para lograrlo y gracias a Dios y a todas las personas que de una u otra manera los ayudaron, su sueño se les hizo realidad. Se llego el día tan esperado y celebraron con gran jubilo. Como vieron que dio resultado siguieron trabajando: vendiendo comida, organizando bailes y rifas. En el año 2001, viendo las necesidades de la iglesia decidieron también ayudarla; lo primero que hicieron fue comprar mesas y sillas nuevas para el sótano con las ganancias obtenidas. Hasta la fecha, le siguen celebrando a la Virgen su fiesta y ayudando a la iglesia. Su meta es dar a conocer a los jóvenes y a todos aquellos mexicanos y no mexicanos el mensaje que la Virgen nos trajo con su Aparición. El comité Guadalupano en nombre de la Virgen les agradece por todo su apoyo y tengan en cuenta que todo lo que por ella hagan, será bien recompensado. Que Dios los bendiga. Si deseas participar en el comité, favor de llamar a Sergio al 773-509-0935.
