The Legion of Mary at St. John Nepomucene Church in Bohemia organized the 12 day visitation of the Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. From August 12th until the 23rd, the Image visited churches, a shrine, nursing homes and abortion clinics. The late Pope John Paul II requested that this Image travel to every church in America, as Our Lady of Guadalupe is the Patroness of the Americas. The Image is an exact 4' x 6' replica of Our Lady of Guadalupe as she appeared on the tilma (cloak) of Saint Juan Diego in Mexico in 1531.
