NBC Chicago and Telemundo Chicago are hosting a special bilingual streaming coverage of the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, an annual celebration that brings hundreds of thousands to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Des Plaines.
Sunday and Monday mark a significant observance for many Catholics of Mexican heritage and believers from around the world who view the Virgin of Guadalupe, known as the Patroness of the Americas, as a symbol of faith and devotion.
According to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, located at 1170 North River Road in Des Plaines, "pilgrims make the annual journey to the Shrine on foot, bike, bus and car to fulfill or make 'mandas' or promises to Our Lady, which they make for a specific need or concern, such as: loss or lack of employment, physical and emotional health, immigration issues and family unity."
The celebration at the Shrine begins on Sunday, Dec. 11, and continues through 7 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 12. It opens with a 6 p.m. Mass by Cardinal Blase Cupich at St. Joseph Chapel.
