December 10, 2023 | "Conquistadores and Our Lady of Guadalupe"

Journey back to the 16th century with the Spanish conquistadores and witness their efforts to evangelize the indigenous people of Mexico. We'll unpack the challenges they faced in transforming the culture and beliefs of the people, and the crucial role of culture in shaping the practice of one's faith. Shedding light on the often-invisible influence of culture, we'll explore how it subtly sways the way we perceive and practice our faith.We'll explore the tale of Juan Diego's divine encounter and the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe in 1531 and how this event led to the construction of a church and made Juan Diego's tilma a potent symbol of evangelization.************Father Don Wolf is a priest of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City.
