The Antorcha Guadalupana runners, who left the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City on Oct. 1., will arrive on Nov. 3, at 5:30 p.m. at Holy Family Church in Corpus Christi. A Mass celebration is scheduled for 7 p.m., and refreshments will be served afterwards.
“We invite everyone to come meet and greet these runners who are running to promote devotion to Our Blessed Virgin of Guadalupe, for peace In Mexico and to promote awareness, dignity and justice for immigrants,” Father Patrick Donohoe, pastor of Holy Family Parish, said.
The runners will depart at 7:30 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 4, from Holy Family to continue toward Beeville and are due to arrive at St Patrick's Cathedral in New York on Dec. 12, on the Feast day of Our lady of Guadalupe.
