Cloth image of Our Lady of Guadalupe to come to Sioux City

Many people throughout the world have developed a love for Our Lady of Guadalupe, the pregnant mother of God who appeared to Juan Diego of Mexico in 1531. The Blessed Mother miraculously left her image on the tilma - cloak - of Diego. An exact digital replica of that image, The Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe will be in Sioux City on April 1. Among the activities planned include a 1 p.m. rosary led by Bishop R. Walker Nickless at Trinity Heights. "The image is four-by-six-feet in size," described Stanek. It is an exact digital image that was reproduced on cloth similar to the original tilma.
