Join Us for Vespers - on ZOOM!
Evening Prayer (also called Vespers) is part of the Church’s Liturgy of the Hours (or Divine Office) that the clergy pray to remain close to God throughout the day. We are all encouraged to pray these sacred prayers, and now we can do so together via Zoom!
This special prayer period is unique, because it includes music, images, and songs that create a spiritual experience and leave you feeling peaceful at the end of the day. It lasts about 20 minutes, and there is no commitment (join us any Monday you can).
For more information or to receive the Zoom link each week, email Dr. Nina Marie Corona, the new Director of Adult Faith Formation at OLG, at daff@olguadalupe.org or sign up for the Vespers group through the Flocknotes sign up the parish website homepage.

What is a Sensory Mass? Simply put, it’s a quieter Mass, with less stimuli. People with disabilities are always welcome to participate in all liturgies at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish. In order to better serve these individuals, the second Sunday of each month, the 11:00 a.m. Mass will provide additional accommodations. If they choose to, families and adults with disabilities can join us for Mass in the Saint Juan Diego Chapel or in the main Church.
Accommodations in the Saint Juan Diego Chapel
Private entrance via the Saint Francis Courtyard
Private bathroom
Lower volume on TV to watch Mass
Calming/quiet area
No incense
Dimmed lights
Feel free to bring comforting toys, noise-cancelling headphones, sun glasses and more to make you or your family member more comfortable.
