A mother's message: LA's Guadalupe tour brings hope to shaken immigrant community

Vol. 10, No. 21

On the cover: A woman prays before the pilgrim image of Our Lady of Guadalupe during its Oct. 2 visit to Our Lady of Lourdes Church in East LA. The image, together with a companion image of St. Juan Diego, is visiting a record number of parishes this fall during its annual pilgrimage through the LA Archdiocese. On Page 10, Mike Cisneros and Kimmy Chacon speak to immigrant parishioners — and their pastors — still reeling from LA’s “summer of ICE” about the pilgrimage’s providential timing.
