Shrine hosts Mass for parents who lost children
The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Des Plaines celebrated a Mass of healing and hope for families who lost a child on Aug. 20, 2022. Families who suffered the loss of a child were invited to come together in faith and heal from the pain of death. During the Mass, the sacrament of the anointing of the sick was administered to both mothers and fathers who have lost a child. The goal was to advocate healing and hope for the loss of all children, including those lost due to abortion, miscarriage, illness, accidents and violence. (Cynthia Flores-Mocarski/Chicago Catholic)
