Thousands of people gathered in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe July 31, 2002, for the canonization of Juan Diego, to whom the Blessed Mother appeared in the 16th century. Pope John Paul II celebrated the ceremony at which the poor Indian peasant became the Church’s first saint indigenous to the Americas.Click on link above to listen to podcast / read more

Meet Juan Diego!
MISSION: Juan received a special mission from the Virgin Mary to tell the bishop that she wanted him to build a chapel in her honor. But his mission was about much more than building a church of bricks or wood. By following the instruction of the Virgin of Guadalupe, Juan Diego helped build a Church where the native people of Mexico would feel welcome.READ ABOUT HIS ADVENTURES
