Our Lady of Guadalupe Torch with Youth Groups/Young Adults

Some ideas for Youth Groups and Young Adults...

• Young  Adult Theology on Tap / Guadalupe Night.  DOT will help provide a speaker.

• Social Movie Night with FORMED.ORG. “Our Lady of Guadalupe- The Miracle and The Message" movie and/or  “Such As We Are, Such Are the Times” presentation from the Napa Institute. Archbishop José Gomez gives a wonderful presentation on how we can draw from Our Lady of Guadalupe’s message to shape our own time for our nation. The Diocese will provide help with Login.

• Teen Bonfire Night with the Torch –Young people can get together to learn about Our Lady, sing songs, pray, and maybe make a banner for their youth ministry to walk with on pilgrimage to the Cathedral on Dec 1st. Let your young people “REPRESENT” your parish in the procession!! Fun, Fun, Fun!

• Young Adult Holy Hour with the Torch and the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe - Collaborate with your Music Ministry for Marian Songs Praise and Worship Night.

• Torch on the Town – Have young people travel with the Torch and the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe throughout the community handing out information on Our Lady of Guadalupe and the pilgrimage on Dec 1st. They can handout rosaries and ask random people to write down prayer intentions. Then you can offer the prayers to the almighty intercessor, Our Lady of Guadalupe, in special holy hours and all week long.

• Host a baby clothing drive for expecting mothers with the pro-life team in your parish

• Young Adults can honor Our Lady of Guadalupe by working with mothers in need: 

• Sisters of Life / Visitation Co-Workers of Life

The Co-Workers of Life
A large and growing network of faithful laity, the Co-Workers see the Sisters of Life as the bridge that connects their desire to do good with those in need. The gifts they have offered to women, many of whom have been rejected by those closest to them, have been a source not just of practical assistance, but of hope in the goodness of life.

What do our Co-Workers do?
They share their talents, time and their very selves in service to pregnant women in need. Based out of local or parish communities, each group has a Visitation coordinator who locates needed resources within the local community. Women with the “heart of Mary” offer friendship and availability to pregnant women in need while families and single women open their homes as Holy Respites. Men put their gifts towards projects like moving furniture and building cribs or in mentoring the father of the baby in learning to support the mother of his child.

Spiritual leaders, business professionals, medical doctors, counselors and lawyers assist with their services, while throughout the country, college and university contacts help with placement and transfer credits for vulnerable pregnant women. We praise God for the Co-Workers of Life now and into the future. In their gifts, small or large, they have made an eternal difference! If you are interested in becoming a Coworker of Life or attending a Co-Worker Training Day in order to learn more about how you can put your gifts at the service of others, call us: Contact - (646) 882-1087
