Meeting, greeting, preaching

Bishop Beckman sets out for parishes, schools following ordination, installation

The East Tennessee Catholic

Bishop Mark Beckman has hit the ground running following his July 26 ordination and installation as he visits parishes and schools, celebrating Mass and getting to know the Catholic faithful of East Tennessee.

In his remarks to parishioners and students, Bishop Beckman is telling them he is beginning his episcopate by first “looking, listening, and learning” as he gets to know the Diocese of Knoxville.

He plans to spend his first year as the diocese’s shepherd learning as much as he can about the Church in East Tennessee.

His bishopry so far has taken him to all four deaneries, where he has celebrated Mass in the Tri-Cities, Chattanooga, the Cumberland Plateau, and greeted parishioners in Morristown, Alcoa, Farragut, and Oak Ridge.

Two months into his new ministry, the bishop already has visited schools in the Five Rivers and Chattanooga deaneries, with more visits scheduled around the diocese.

Along the way, he has attended a performance by the Hillbilly Thomists at the Bijou Theatre and Irish Fest at Immaculate Conception Church in downtown Knoxville and sat down with Catholic students at the University of Tennessee.

Parishioners around the diocese say they are looking forward to Bishop Beckman celebrating Mass at their churches. All of the Masses he has celebrated have been well-attended, and those in attendance have enjoyed looking at, listening to, and learning about the new bishop as well.

And as part of his visits to the four deaneries, Bishop Beckman has shared a meal with the priests of each deanery to look, listen, and learn.

Bishop celebrates the first Mass at his new home parish

On July 28, when Bishop Beckman celebrated his first Mass at the Cathedral of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus since being installed as the fourth bishop of Knoxville, the bishop felt a sense of familiarity, even as he embarked on a new chapter.

“Sixty-one years ago, I was baptized at Sacred Heart Church in Lawrenceburg, Tenn. So, to be here today at the Cathedral of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus feels like a homecoming,” he said. “And all of you have warmly welcomed me to this beautiful cathedral and this beautiful Diocese of Knoxville. Thank you for your welcome.”

The 9 a.m. Mass was standing room only as the bishop took his place in the mother church of the diocese.

Concelebrating the Mass were Father David Boettner, rector of the cathedral, and cathedral associate pastors Father Martin Gladysz, Father Jhon Mario Garcia, and Father Danny Herman. Assisting the Mass were Deacon Walt Otey and Deacon Mike Mescall.

“The chair in your cathedral has been empty for 13 months, hasn’t it?” he said, indicating the cathedra, the seat of the bishop, that sits adjacent to the altar.

“So today, you have a bishop,” he said. “And it is a day I know you all have been praying for for a long time. When I came to visit a couple of months ago, I celebrated Mass here with Archbishop [Shelton J.] Fabre, and I saw the prayer card that you all had been praying for me over the last year. And many times since then, people have sent me photographs of the card you have been praying since it’s been announced who the bishop would be at this Diocese of Knoxville. And I have felt your prayers.

“I did not know that I would be called when you were praying for me. I was here in this diocese the week before I got the phone call, hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains with my good friend, Father Joe McMahon, and he said to me, ‘Would you be content retiring at St. Henry as pastor?’ and I said, ‘Sure, of course.’ And the following Monday, the telephone rang, and Pope Francis, and the Lord Himself I suppose, had other thoughts in mind for my future. And since then, I have been praying for all of you,” Bishop Beckman shared.

The Gospel reading for the day was Jesus feeding the 5,000. Bishop Beckman said it was a piece of Scripture he prayed over while on retreat preparing for his episcopal ordination and installation.

“I was praying with the Word of God, and one of the Gospels that I prayed with was the very Gospel that we proclaimed this morning: how Jesus crossed over the sea, walked up to the top of a mountain and looked out and saw the hunger of God’s people. He knew they were hungry. And he said to Philip, ‘Philip, what are we going to do about this?’ And what did Philip say? ‘I don’t know; it’s a big crowd out there.’

“I wonder how many times in life we respond that way. We are aware that our world needs help. It needs hope. It needs love. The human heart must be fed. And we see the greatness of the challenge,” the bishop said.

Bishop Beckman then noted how Andrew responded by looking for a solution and how a little boy in the crowd responded by offering up his meal.

“This morning, I want to challenge all of you to become like Andrew. Not only be aware of the hungers of the world but be looking around you for solutions.”

“And…the little boy. He is the one who held the loaves and fishes and said, ‘I’ve got some. You can have my lunch. You can take it.’ I wonder if Jesus, when He looked at that child and saw that love in the boy’s eyes, if He didn’t’ recognize this child is willing to let us be nourished with his small gifts.

“He saw in that child a reflection of His own love and the gift of Himself on the cross, willing to give all of Himself for you and for me. And so, the little boy becomes for us the great sign of God’s kingdom.”

The bishop said that when Jesus calls us to be like children, to think of the little boy who offered his small meal that, through Christ, fed thousands.

“I want to challenge every single one of us, myself included, in this cathedral church today, and everyone who’s listening on live stream or will hear it later, I want to challenge all of you: become that child,” Bishop Beckman said.

“Say yes to giving what you have to the Lord and let Him use it to feed the hungers of our world. Our world needs us. It needs each one of you. And every single one of you has something that no one else has to give, unique gifts that the Lord has given to you. And if you bring them to Jesus, He will bless them. He will share them to feed the hungers of the world.”

“Are you all ready to be little children again? I hear them in the church, the cathedral church,” he said, to laughter as the sounds of several small children in the congregation were noticed. “My friend Father [Pat] Kibby is here today, and he said, ‘Oh it’s a typical 9 o’clock Mass. There’s lots of children.’ There are lots of children. Good news for the kingdom of God!”

Father Kibby is a senior priest in the Diocese of Nashville who serves at St. Henry Parish, where Bishop Beckman formerly served before being named a bishop.

At the conclusion of Mass, Bishop Beckman thanked the Diocese of Knoxville and the cathedral parish for the warm welcome he had received.

“The priests of the cathedral, they have welcomed me with extremely warm hearts. They are good shepherds, aren’t they?” he asked.

Parishioners responded with loud applause.

“What a gift. Thank you. Good shepherds. All the way from one of the newly-est ordained all the way to Father Boettner. Your deacons, the women and men who are part of your ministries here, the hospitality at the receptions. My family and friends told me the whole city of Knoxville has welcomed them so warmly. What a gift. You all are so wonderful.”

He acknowledged that many members of his large family had stayed in town all weekend and were attending Mass that morning. He asked them to stand, to which the parish responded in applause.

Bishop Beckman also thanked his friends and former parishioners who traveled to Knoxville to celebrate with him.

“I’m so grateful for their presence here, and they have prepared me well to be your shepherd,” he said. “Their love and their goodness have helped me to become better day by day.

“And all of you all are going to help me become a better bishop day by day. So be patient with me when I make mistakes, and we will be great journeyers together toward the kingdom of God.

“What a blessed day this is. A new beginning for this Diocese of Knoxville and also for me, your shepherd. Thank you. Thank you.”

The cathedral parish held a reception for the bishop in the cathedral hall following Mass, where Bishop Beckman met with parish families.

First of four deanery Masses

Bishop Beckman’s first deanery Mass was on July 30 at St. Patrick Church in Morristown in the Five Rivers Deanery.

A standing-room-only congregation braved a severe summer storm and flash-flooding on an early Tuesday evening to greet the bishop, who was genuinely grateful for their attendance and support.

Concelebrating the bi-lingual Mass were Father Miguel Velez, pastor of St. Patrick; Father Michael Cummins, pastor of St. Dominic Parish in Kingsport; St. Dominic associate pastors Father Andrew Crabtree and Father Bede Aboh; Father Joseph Kuzhupil, pastor of Notre Dame Parish in Greeneville; Father Neil Pezzulo, GHM, pastor of St. John Paul II Catholic Mission in Rutledge; Father Tom Charters, GHM, associate pastor of St. Michael the Archangel Parish in Erwin; Father Dustin Collins, pastor of St. Mary Parish in Johnson City; Father Zach Griffith, parochial vicar of St. Mary Parish in Johnson City; Father Jim Harvey, pastor of Holy Trinity Parish in Jefferson City; Father Pontian Kiyimba, AJ, parochial administrator of Church of the Good Shepherd in Newport; and Father Emmanuel Massawe, AJ, Church of the Good Shepherd parochial vicar.

Assisting the Mass were Deacon Jim Fage of St. Patrick, Deacon Humberto Collazo of St. Dominic, and Deacon Hicks Armor, who serves at the Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul.

In his homily, Bishop Beckman described the images of weeds and wheat as well as two wolves, one noble and the other destructive.

Father Velez translated the homily remarks into Spanish.

The bishop compared the images to the goodness that God places in everyone’s heart.

“Have faith in the goodness that God has planted in your hearts. Let what God has sown in you grow and bear fruit,” Bishop Beckman said. “You are the children of the kingdom, the seed that God is going to plant in the world. So, may the Lord, who has begun this beautiful work, bring it to fulfillment.”

In his closing remarks, Bishop Beckman thanked the faithful of St. Patrick and the deanery priests and deacons.

He said that during dinner with the priests before Mass, he asked the priests what they loved the most about the Diocese of Knoxville.

“One common answer was all of you, God’s people, and the beautiful country in which we live, and this exciting new beginning in a young diocese full of energy. So, thank you,” he added.

Following the Mass, the parish held a reception for the bishop in the parish hall.

‘Bishop of the Mountains’ celebrates Mass in the Smoky Mountain Deanery

Bishop Beckman celebrated Mass for the Smoky Mountain Deanery at Our Lady of Fatima Church in Alcoa on July 31.

Kim Adamson and Margarita Audette provided the harp and clarinet musical prelude before the Mass began. The parish choir provided the music during the liturgy.

Luis Ramos, High School and Young Adult Ministry coordinator for Our Lady of Fatima, translated the bishop’s remarks for the Spanish-speaking parishioners.

In his homily, Bishop Beckman spoke of the Gospel reading: “The kingdom of God is like a man who discovers a buried treasure. When he finds it, he sells everything to acquire that treasure.”

“Jesus Christ is the treasure that our hearts are made for, and they will not be at peace until we rest in Him,” the bishop said. “However, several years ago I was praying with this very Gospel. And I heard the Lord say to me, ‘No, Mark, you are the buried treasure. I sold everything for you.’

“You are the buried treasure that Christ came to give all to acquire. You belong to Him, and the joy He has and your yes—our joy is but a small mirror of that. You are the pearl of great price to God. It’s mutual.”

Priests concelebrating the Mass included Father Peter Iorio, pastor of Our Lady of Fatima; Father Joseph Austin, Our Lady of Fatima parochial vicar; Father Bill McNeeley, pastor of Holy Family Parish in Seymour; Father David Mary Engo, pastor of Holy Cross Parish in Pigeon Forge; cathedral priests Father Boettner, Father Gladysz, Father Garcia, and Father Herman; Holy Ghost Parish pastor Father John Orr; Father Valentin Iurochkin, Holy Ghost associate pastor; Father Antonio Giraldo, pastor of St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Townsend; Father Chris Michelson and Father Patrick Garrity, who are retired from active ministry; Father Tim Sullivan, CSP, and Father Jim Haley, CSP, associate pastors at Immaculate Conception Parish; and Father Elijah Cirigliano of the Benedictines of Divine Will.

Clergy assisting the Mass included Deacons Hicks Armor, Bill Jacobs, and Leon Dodd.

Bishop Beckman thanked the priests and deacons from the Smoky Mountain Deanery. He also expressed his thanks for all who attended.

“It is so good to be with you this evening, to see your faces, to drive out here this evening and see the mountains in the distance and to see this beautiful church,” he said.

Bishop Beckman has made known his love of hiking and the mountains. He told the members of the Smoky Mountain Deanery how excited he is serve in such a naturally beautiful region.

“When I was in Nashville, one of the students at our elementary school, when he found out I was coming to be your bishop, he said, ‘Are you going to be the bishop of the mountains?’ And I said, ‘Yes, I am!’”

The anecdote drew appreciative laughs from the congregation.

Following Mass was a large reception in the parish hall.

Our Lady of Fatima parishioner Greg Ward said he was happy to help welcome Bishop Beckman to the diocese.

“I was part of the music ministry, so I was glad to participate,” Mr. Ward said. “We had people from all over that helped. Different parishes came in and helped in all different kinds of ways. It was just a wonderful celebration.”

“We’re just so thankful to have Bishop Mark here with us now. I didn’t get to go to the ordination, but I heard he said this is about Christ. And that’s what Father Pete [Iorio] came back and told us. You can tell that he’s just a humble man of God,” he added. “I think he’s going to be a great thing for our diocese. We need somebody who can help lead us in the right way and help really move things along and bring Christ to East Tennessee.”

Our Lady of Fatima parishioner Liz McCachrin agreed. Her first impressions of the new bishop were positive ones.

“He’s so thoughtful and calm. It just inspires prayer. His presence inspires prayer and the feeling that God is with us,” she said.

Mass with the Cumberland Mountain Deanery

Bishop Beckman celebrated Mass for the Cumberland Mountain Deanery at St. John Neumann Church in Farragut on Aug. 1.

In his homily, Bishop Beckman reminded the people that God is always in control.

“We experience a whole mixture of realities as we journey through life, don’t we? Some of them wonderful, joyful, delightful. Some of them very difficult and painful things that we would never choose for ourselves. Yet all of them somehow are part of the great mystery of life,” he said. “We are clay in the hands of God, an image worth pottering. Every event of our lives, every experience, no matter how painful or broken, gives shape to who we are.

“I’ve come to believe through years of praying with folks in moments both good and bad alike that God Himself is the faithful potter in our lives, that we’re the clay in the hands of God. And His fingers are at work, shaping us, forming us, creating us into something of great beauty for Himself.

“I know that this diocese has been through a great variety of experiences,” the bishop said. “You all have been waiting for a bishop for 13 months. I heard Archbishop [Shelton J.] Fabre say that several times—13 months. But God was holding you in His hands. His fingers shape who we are. And our job in a sense is to let the hands of God shape us. He’s creating something incredibly beautiful. And moments we don’t understand the most are when we’re very close to his heart.”

Bishop Beckman thanked the priests, deacons, altar servers, musicians, and all who made the Mass possible.

Concelebrating the Mass were Father Joe Reed, pastor of St. John Neumann; St. John Neumann associate pastors Father Michael Maples and Father Bo Beaty; Father Sam Sturm, pastor of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish in LaFollette and Christ the King Parish in Tazewell; Father Adam Royal, associate pastor of St. Thomas the Apostle Parish in Lenoir City; Father Ray Powell, pastor of St. Mary Parish in Oak Ridge; and Father Neil Blatchford, associate pastor of St. Mary-Oak Ridge.

Assisting the Mass were Deacons Hicks Armor, David Lucheon, and Shawn Ballard.

Father Reed thanked Bishop Beckman for coming and celebrating Mass.

“Thank you, Bishop, for being here,” he said. “You’re a breath of fresh air and just a great joy, and we all have a great hope with you.”

Bishop Beckman also shared how it was a joy to get to know the priests of the deanery better over dinner that evening.

“The beauty of listening to the priests of this deanery speak about what they love most about this Diocese of Knoxville was truly awe-inspiring to me. You, the people of God, you are an inspiration to them. The love that they have for each other, their priestly fraternity, the zeal and energy in a young diocese like this Diocese of Knoxville. So, I am so grateful to be with them in this presbyterate and with all of you in this beautiful Church of the Diocese of Knoxville. And we have beautiful days ahead of us,” he said.

Following Mass a reception was held in the St. John Neumann School gym.

Ending at the beginning

Bishop Mark Beckman concluded his series of deanery Masses by celebrating a liturgy for the Chattanooga Deanery on Aug. 2 at St. Jude Church.

Nearly every priest of the deanery came to the Mass at the Chattanooga church, including host pastor Father Charlie Burton and St. Jude associate pastors Father Alex Waraksa and Father Adam Kane, who concelebrated.

Thirteen priests and eight deacons attended the Mass. Deacon Butch Feldhaus was deacon of the Word, and Deacon Frank Bosh was deacon of the altar. Both deacons serve at St. Jude. St. Jude’s Emmaus group provided music for the liturgy, for which the church was filled. Deacon Hicks Armor was master of ceremonies at all four of Bishop Beckman’s deanery Masses.

Concelebrating priests included Monsignor Al Humbrecht, pastor of Holy Spirit Parish in Soddy-Daisy; Father Mike Nolan, pastor of St. Thérèse of Lisieux Parish in Cleveland; Father Jim Vick, pastor of St. Bridget Parish in Dayton; Father Jerry Daniels, pastor of St. Catherine Labouré Parish in Coppherhill; Father Michael Hendershott and Father Alex Hernandez, parochial vicars of the Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul; Father John Dowling, pastor of St. Augustine Parish in Signal Mountain; Father Christopher Manning, parochial administrator of St. Mary Parish in Athens; Father Nick Tran, pastor of the Vietnamese St. Faustina Public Association of the Faithful; Father Mike Creson of St. Thérèse of Lisieux; Father Manuel Perez, pastor of St. Stephen Parish in Chattanooga; and Father Matthew Donahue, associate pastor of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish in Chattanooga.

After he celebrated Mass and greeted many members of the faithful for more than an hour in the parish life center, Bishop Beckman reflected on the four deanery Masses.

“I have absolutely loved meeting the people of God in these deaneries,” he said. “The warmth and the welcome have been overwhelming. It’s been beautiful.”

His episcopal ordination and installation Mass on July 26 was an event for the whole diocese, but the deanery Masses were “more intimate gatherings,” Bishop Beckman said.

“It’s been great to gather with the priests and the small groups in the deaneries and to listen to what they love about the diocese,” he said. “It’s also been great to experience the Masses and the parishes and the music ministries in each unique parish. There’s something beautiful about that.”

In his opening remarks at the St. Jude Mass, Bishop Beckman said he was on familiar territory. Then-Father Humbrecht was pastor at St. Augustine in Signal Mountain in 1986 and pastor at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Chattanooga in 1987 when seminarian Mark Beckman served consecutive summer assignments at the two parishes.

“This evening, I want to take a moment to say how grateful I am to be here with you in this deanery at St. Jude Church,” Bishop Beckman said. “I feel in a way that I’m coming home, and the reason I feel that way is that when I was a young seminarian many years ago, I was with Father Al Humbrecht. My first summer assignment was in Signal Mountain, Tenn., right here in Chattanooga, and my second summer assignment was at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Chattanooga.”

Bishop Beckman also taught at Notre Dame High School in Chattanooga during his seminarian days.

“As many of you all know by now, I came back and taught one year of high school at Notre Dame, and I taught freshmen, sophomores, and seniors. Is there anybody here who was a student when I was there?”

A few hands went up in response to the bishop’s question.

“I came up to visit St. Jude back in those days when I was very young, but it’s my first time back to this parish in a long time,” Bishop Beckman said. “I feel like God has really called me back to the place that really began my ministry with you people of God.

“I did say to Deacon Hicks one of the evenings this week, ‘Can you have a favorite deanery?’ and he said, ‘You can have one, but you can’t say it out loud,’” the bishop added as the assembly laughed. “I said, OK. It’s like having favorite children, right? They’re all your favorite. It is good that we are here tonight to give praise and thanks to God, to listen to the Word of God and to be nourished by it.”

In his homily at St. Jude, Bishop Beckman reflected on the Gospel reading from Matthew 13:54-58, in which Jesus—despite growing up in Nazareth—reflected on his townspeople there taking offense at Him after His public ministry began, saying that “A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house.”

Bishop Beckman said Jesus’ early life as a carpenter went “unnoticed” for many years.

“When Jesus returns, full of the Spirit of God, and begins to perform mighty deeds, the people are shocked. Matthew says today ‘astonished,’” the bishop said. “They did not accept that Jesus Himself was the Son of God. I find this powerful because God became so intimately connected to our human world, our human lives, and lived so intimately with us that He blended in so well that He was unnoticed for all those years. Stop and think about that for a moment.”

At the end of Mass, Bishop Beckman thanked the “beautiful priests and deacons who have gathered here with you tonight in the church.”

“I thank Father Charlie for your warm welcome to this parish. What a great pastor you are here at St. Jude. Thank you for your service,” the bishop said as the assembly applauded their pastor of 15 years. “All of the priests here in this deanery and beyond, our deacons—what a blessing they are.”

St. Jude usher Paul Trudel said the Mass with the bishop “was very nice.”

“It was nice to see all the priests in choir as they were. Almost all of the deanery priests were here except for one or two who were sick,” Mr. Trudel said. “I would have guessed there were 500 people here, give or take. The people, you could tell, enjoyed it.”

Mr. Trudel said it was “a positive” that Bishop Beckman knew priests of the deanery in his seminary days.

OLPH parishioner Kathy Mahn said the deanery Mass “was so very special.”

“I felt the Holy Spirit and just a nice energy,” she said. “It was wonderful. I didn’t think about all our deanery priests being here—of course they would be. That was very special, too, to see all of them gathered.”

Ms. Mahn went to St. Henry Parish in Nashville, Bishop Beckman’s last assignment as a pastor before he was named shepherd of the Diocese of Knoxville, although her time there did not coincide with the future bishop’s. She said she was “not at all” surprised that the vibrant parish produced a bishop.

Bishop Beckman is a native of Lawrenceburg, Tenn., also the hometown of former Nashville Bishop James D. Niedergeses, who was pastor of OLPH for many years as a diocesan priest.

“I did feel very attached because he came from Lawrenceburg, where Bishop Niedergeses came from. He was my parish priest at OLPH,” Ms. Mahn said.

Nancy Harvey, a parishioner at the Cathedral of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in Knoxville, was a student of Bishop Beckman at Notre Dame High School. Her maiden name is Monteith, and she graduated from NDHS in 1992.

“He was my best religion teacher,” Mrs. Harvey said. “I’ve just always remembered how wonderful his classes were, and he was so inspiring. It was my first year at Notre Dame, as a sophomore, and I was shy and awkward—his classes just really meant a lot to me.”

Mrs. Harvey mused on whether great things were expected of the young seminarian Mark Beckman then.

“You never know, but I’m not surprised at all,” she said.

Deacon Armor talked about emceeing Bishop Beckman’s deanery Masses.

“It’s always an honor to serve with him. He’s wonderful,” he said. “He is so charismatic. People love him. He loves every deanery, so he’s had a great, great week, and I think the people are seeing a truly spiritual man as our bishop.”

Mass with the Hispanic Community

Bishop Beckman celebrated Mass with the Hispanic community of the diocese at All Saints Church in Knoxville on Aug. 3. Parishioners from as far as Kingsport and Chattanooga attended. Musicians from St. Thomas the Apostle in Lenoir City led the music liturgy for the Mass.

Deacon Fredy Vargas, who serves at the Cathedral of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, translated the bishop’s comments.

“It is so good to be with you,” Bishop Beckman said. “I’ve had the blessing of being all over the diocese this week, and I’ve seen the beautiful diversity of this diocese everywhere I’ve been. So, it’s good to be with you today.”

Bishop Beckman thanked the priests and deacons present and also took the opportunity to thank all the clergy he spent time with throughout the week.

“It has been such a joy all week to spend time with my brother priests in all the deaneries. Also, with the deacons; what a gift we have here in Knoxville, a great multitude of deacons,” he said.

In his homily, the bishop spoke about the importance of listening to God.

“Today, I would like to invite all of you to begin a great journey together of listening to God’s Word and allowing that Word to grow richly among us. As I begin each morning in prayer, my favorite part is stillness with God, listening, asking God to speak and then quiet listening. And the morning that I was called to become your bishop I needed quiet stillness to listen for God. God, is this Your will for me? I needed to listen to God. I am so grateful that I was able to hear God calling me to be your shepherd. So, together, let us listen as we go forward on the journey ahead,” Bishop Beckman said.

Following Mass, there was a reception in the parish hall. The All Saints Renovación Carismática Católica (Catholic Charismatic Renewal) group provided the food. Several groups performed cultural songs and dances, including dances from El Grupo de Arte, Cultura y Folclore San Miguel (Group of Art, Culture and Folklore, St. Michael) of All Saints Parish, a Guatemalan dance from women and girls of the Basilica Sts. Peter and Paul in Chattanooga, and a Colombian dance from parishioners of the Cathedral of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Blanca Primm, director of the Office of Hispanic Ministry, presented Bishop Beckman with a gift on behalf of the diocesan Hispanic community: a vestment featuring an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
