History of The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe
The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe is a diocesan shrine located in Lindenwold, N.J. The shrine, also an active parish, was officially dedicated on October 30, 2011 by His Excellency Bishop Joseph Galante, D.D., J.C.D. Bishop of the Diocese of Camden. The main purpose of the shrine is to provide a place of pilgrimage and prayer in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe in an effort to seek her intercession in honoring and promoting the sanctity of human life.
Another goal of the Shrine is to fulfill Blessed John Paul II’s declaration that Our Lady of Guadalupe be the Star of the “New Evangelization” in the Americas. In a homily on 24 January, 1999, he said: “To conclude, I would now like to turn my thoughts to Tepeyac (Mexico) to Our Lady of Guadalupe, Star of the new evangelization of the American continent and I fervently ask her to guide her children, so that they will enter the new millennium with faith and hope”. This Shrine hopes to engender this sense of a renewed evangelization of the Catholic Christian faith.
The Shrine contains an exact replica of the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe as it appeared on the tilma (cloak) of St. Juan Diego on December 9, 1531 and was touched to the original tilma that is located in Mexico.
