POSADAS: The Guadalupana Association is sponsoring Posadas starting at 6:00 p.m. December 16th through December 23rd. The Posadas is a traditional Christmas celebration of Latin America that tells the story of Mary and Joseph's search for shelter. Posadas means "inn or lodging." "Mary & Joseph" and the other "pilgrims" approach the house hosting the posada singing, "Do you have lodging?" The people inside the house respond by singing, "Go away. This is no inn!" The posadas will be celebrated at the homes of parishioners. The last posada on Sunday, December 23rd will take place at the Family Center. If you would like to participate, please call ahead to get directions and/or more information. Materials in English and Spanish will be provided. A Schedule of Posadas is posted in the Church foyer.
