The feast day is on November 19 and the most important Marian devotion in Puerto Rico. For this reason, Pope Saint Paul VI declared Our Lady of Divine Providence as "Principal Patroness of the Puerto Rican Nation" on November 19, 1969. The Pope expressed his deepest intention: to unite around the Mother of God the two great affections of Puerto Ricans - the love for their land and the love for the Mother of God. The image of Our Lady of Providence shows the Virgin Mary sitting with the baby Jesus sleeping on her lap, while she holds the left hand of little Jesus in her palms, in a prayer position.

The feast day of the Patroness of the Americas is on December 12. This celebration commemorates the appearance of Mary to the Mexican peasant Juan Diego in 1531. With bowed head, brown skin, and wearing a blue-green robe studded with stars, Our Lady of Guadalupe is one of the most iconic images and deeply connected to the identity of indigenous people in Mexico and beyond. The site of this Marian apparition is the most visited Catholic pilgrimage site in the world, and the third most visited sacred site across all religions. Around 10 million people visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe each year.

The feast day is on January 21. About 800,000 pilgrims pass through the Bas铆lica Catedral Nuestra Se帽ora de la Altagracia every year.  For over 500 years, Our Lady of Altagracia has been interceding with her Son Jesus to intervene in our daily lives. A mass was celebrated on January 21, 1692, to thank Altagracia for protecting the volunteers who participated in the fierce and bloody battle of "La Limonade鈥�. They all returned home safely without a scratch.  Since then, the feast of Our Lady of Altagracia has been celebrated on the anniversary of this miracle. 

The feast day is on February 2 in memory of the Presentation of the Child Jesus in the Temple of Jerusalem (Lk 2; 22-39) and the purification of the Virgin Mary after childbirth. Christ the Light of the world presented by his Mother in the Temple comes to illuminate everyone like the candle or candles, from which the invocation of the Virgin of the "Candelaria" is derived. Our Lady of Candelaria is celebrated throughout Latin America with many festivals. In Puno, in southern Peru, the Candelaria Festival is one of the most important in the region. UNESCO declared the Festival of the Virgin of Candelaria in Puno as Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

Every Lent, we come together for a bilingual meditation on Via Crucis/Stations of the Cross, where we journey from Lent to Easter with hope in our hearts. The Via Crucis is a deeply rooted devotion to reflect on the journey of Jesus to the Cross. This powerful tradition is not just about remembering Jesus' suffering; it's about connecting with Him through our struggles and finding solace in solidarity.

It鈥檚 an opportunity to renew our story with Jesus, full of hope, fresh perspective, and faith that will drive us to action. Through the Way of the Cross, we prepare our hearts for Holy Week, drawing strength to face our challenges with courage and faith.
