Friday, December 12 is the liturgical Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. We will have a solemn Mass and a reception to follow with homemade tamales and other good food. If you can RSVP (texting is best—see below) me that you are coming, that helps us have an idea of the head count. I will give a short talk during the reception on this amazing divine intervention. Due to the reception, the Rosary will be prayed before Mass at 11:30 am, not after Mass.
We regret to inform you that the April 14-28, 2026 pilgrimage to the Holy Land by Terra Sancta Ministries has been CANCELLED. No future pilgrimages are planned at the time. Thus, the pilgrimage Orientation Meeting on Sunday, January 11, 2026, is cancelled also. Let’s continue to pray for the Mother Church of Jerusalem and for peace in that holy land.
To communicate with me, please email me directly at abunaalex@yahoo.com or call/text me at (313) 727-9784. Jesus, Mary & Joseph, the Holy Family, pray for us!
In Jesus, Mary & Joseph,
Fr. Alex Kratz, OFM
Spiritual Director of Terra Sancta Ministries
