Our Lady of Guadalupe Event in La Crosse
March 13-15, 2026 at Diocese of La Crose
The "Madre Peregrina" (Pilgrim Mother) is a life-size sculpture depicting the Virgin Mary in her apparitions of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patroness of the Americas. Originating from the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, this replica is crafted to closely resemble the original miraculous image as a living apparition. The primary purpose of the Madre Peregrina sculpture is to bring the spiritual presence and intercessory power of Our Lady of Guadalupe to communities worldwide, fostering peace, love and hope among Catholic pilgrims.
Veneration Experience: includes a 30-minute presentation that is bilingual with time for veneration afterward. Each pilgrim is given a white ribbon for prayer intentions. The prayer intentions will be taken to the Shrine of Our Lady in Mexico City where Archbishop Grob will preside over a Mass for the intentions later this Spring.
