This Mass was part of the call from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to dioceses and parishes, asking that they dedicate the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe (Dec. 12) as a day of prayer and solidarity with families of immigrants.

It will be a time to place before God the many hopes, fears, and needs of all those families who have come to the U.S. seeking a better life.
