We are aware that the Archbishop has allowed the churches to open at 25%.  However, we have chosen to continue with Masses in our vehicles, due to the effects this Covid-19 has had on our staff and community.

During the pandemic, Father Emmanuel and the OLOG Staff are doing everything we can to keep everyone safe and healthy. At this time please limit office visits if the matter can be resolved over the phone. We can handle most needs online or with a call. The office is accepting bank cards as a form of payment for all Parish Office and Faith Formation needs. Thank you for your continued support during this time. The goal is to keep everyone safe.

As you know, Valencia County has gone into the “yellow phase”. This is wonderful news for our Parish Community. It has been determined that our church will reopen with weekend Masses, as long as we remain in the “yellow”. No reservations are required. A maximum of 40 masked individuals may enter into the church, social distancing must be observed. People will still have the option to remain in their vehicles and listen to Mass in the parking lot. Holy Communion will be distributed to those inside the church and outside, as currently done. When the church reopens please follow the directions of the ushers. We ask that everyone continue to be careful, stay safe and stay healthy. God bless us all during this time.

Part of our Lenten journey is the donation of the proceeds from our fasting to CRS Rice Bowls, for the feeding of the poor and hungry in our world. Pick up a rice bowl and return them after Easter.

Please remember to get your copy of The Word Among Us. It has daily mediations for the Lenten Season, as well as daily Mass readings.

Stations of the Cross will be held on the Fridays of Lent at 7pm. A maximum of 40 masked individuals may enter into the church, social distancing must be observed. People will still have the option to remain in their vehicles and listen in the parking lot. 

Have you ever been one of the 12 Apostles at the Holy Thursday Service? This year, we would like to invite members of our parish (age 18 and over) to be an Apostle. Holy Thursday is April 1st. Please call the parish office for more information. Listen—is the Lord calling you?

Attention! If you are a volunteer, member of an organization, or serve in a ministry at Our Lady of Guadalupe, please make sure that you are up to date with the Protection of Children training. 8% of our volunteers have not updated or have never taken this training. Should COVID-19 restrictions be lifted and our parish be allowed to fully open, these individuals would not be able to resume their service. Please contact the Parish Office for more information.
