Guardian of the Missionary Image
We will now have a time of veneration of the Image and an opportunity to purchase devotional goods.
You should have Petition and Donation envelopes in your pews. Please complete them, make a donation and drop them in the basket as you venerate the image. All donations are for the support of Dan Lynch Apostolates.
Please form one line and venerate the Missionary Image asking her intercession. Tell Our Lady about all of your needs and problems and have confidence that she will intercede for you. Our Lady of Guadalupe asks you, as she asked St. Juan Diego, “Am I not here who am your mother?”
See the photograph that shows the manner of carrying the Image in procession and displaying it. It may also be carried higher or sideways if there are space constraints. Also, if the distance is long, a moving dolly covered with a quality blanket may be used.
As Guardian you are responsible and should be totally committed to the entire Visitation and personally accompany the Missionary Image to each visit with the Guardian of Religious Goods.
You, the Guardian of Religious Goods and any others should travel as a Team to each Visitation site and get such help as you may need from each parish. This works because you know the plan and can teach others to help you. It doesn’t work if you are not there!
Guardian of Publicity
2. Compose, print and distribute news releases, fliers, poster and advertisements. See the samples. These samples may be copied and pasted by you into a Word Document or similar program and reproduced. Send these with copies of downloads or links to these documents: The Facts Sheet, The Miraculous Image and the Missionary Image at least three weeks ahead of time to diocesan and secular news outlets and to host parishes and surrounding parishes for their information and placement in their bulletins and on their bulletin boards. Call them to remind them and invite them to attend.
Guardian of Finances
Guardian of Liturgies and Devotions
2. Other liturgical and devotional programs can vary in length and content. Some suggestions to accompany public veneration of the Missionary Image are suitable prayers and hymns; processions; Rosary recitations; Confessions; Adoration; Benediction; December 12th Mass of Our Lady of Guadalupe; and homilies and talks on Our Lady of Guadalupe. Read the Presentation with Missionary Image and the short version and use whatever is appropriate for your Visitation.
