Our Lady of Guadalupe Procession and Mass, in San Diego

The San Diego Diocese invites all faithful to participate in its annual celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe. This year, this event is a part of the diocese’s five-year initiative to prepare the faithful of all cultures to celebrate the 500th anniversary in 2031 of the apparitions of Our Lady to Juan Diego.

The event begins at 11am with a procession of beautifully decorated theme cars, folkloric dancers, parishes and movimientos starting from the Morley Field Sports Complex at the edge of Balboa Park. The procession travels through North Park streets and ends at St. Augustine High School. There, Auxiliary Bishop Felipe Pulido will celebrate a bilingual Mass at 1pm, accompanied by dozens of clergy, in the school’s gym. The tilma relic bearing Our Lady of Guadalupe’s image will be present at the Mass.

The event — which includes a fiesta with traditional food and music after the Mass — is organized by the Confederación Guadalupana and the diocesan Hispanic Commission.
