Le Gustaría llevar a Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe a Casa?
Queremos invitar a las familias que gusten llevar la imagen de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe a su ca-sa. La idea es que la puedan tener por una sema-na, en donde podrán pedir por sus necesidades y las vocaciones religiosas y sobre todo rezar el Ro-sario en familia. Acuérdense que “La Familia que reza unida, permanece unida”. La imagen la pue-den devolver el Sábado siguiente antes de la Misa, así la próxima familia puede llevarla a su casa. Para pedir la Virgen llamen a Ignacio Hernández al 510-943-8648.
