The community of Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish is pleased to invite everyone to enjoy a Picnic on Sunday, August 31, starting at 1:00 pm at St. Joseph Church (1905 W. Beltline Hwy, Madison). It will be an event filled with joy, flavor, and fellowship, where we will also welcome the new Mass schedules:

• Saturdays: 5:00 pm. (English) and 6:30 pm. (Spanish).

• Sundays: 9:00 am, 12:00 pm, and 7:00 pm (Spanish).

• At St. James, Mass times will remain at 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM (English), and 1:00 PM (Spanish).

A Picnic to Support Our Parish

This year, the Summer Festival will not take place. Still, instead, we will celebrate with a picnic featuring a food sale with a variety of delicious Mexican snacks, including tacos, corn on the cob, fresh fruit, flavored water, and more.

The purpose of the picnic is to raise funds for the parish. This event is made possible thanks to the generosity and dedication of our volunteers, who have offered their time and talents to coordinate the event.

Gratitude and Looking Ahead

Although the Summer festival will not take place this year, we remember that the Annual Summer Festival is one of our community’s most beloved celebrations, as it strengthens unity and a spirit of solidarity among families. All funds raised are used to support parish programs and projects. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has contributed. “There are no words to thank you for your valuable support, truly”.  With hope and enthusiasm, we look forward to resuming the Summer Festival in 2026.
