Our Mission
We, the members of Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish in Peralta, share the mission of the Roman Catholic Church to bring others to Christ. In sharing with others our faith, experience, and earthly goods, we grow in faith and are living the missionary call of our baptism. With Jesus as our model, we seek to proclaim the Gospel through prayer, the sacraments, and acts of love and justice for all of God’s people.

Exciting News...
Thank you for your continued generosity in completing the building project.
The Peralta Altar Society is looking for new members. So many things happen behind the scene especially in the sacristy before Mass is celebrated. Just like in restaurants. You just walk in, place an order, food is served, and you eat and go. We have no idea how the food is purchased, processed, cooked, and served. We just enter a restaurant, sit down, eat, and go. So also with the Mass. We just walk in, sit down, listen to and pray the Mass and then go home. So many people work behind the scene to prepare things and get them ready before the priest comes to celebrate Mass. Most of this special work done in the sacristy before the Mass is celebrated is done by a group of men and women called Members of the Altar Society. Please call the Parish Office. Thank you.
Reminder: Married couples celebrating their 25th Wedding Anniversary are asked to contact the Parish Office. A certificate of appreciation from the Archdiocese of Santa Fe and a blessing from Our Lady Of Guadalupe Parish will be presented to you.
The Rosary is prayed 30 minutes prior to each Mass
Please remember that you can download the Laudate App on your smartphone to help follow along during Mass. The app has Daily Readings, Prayers, and much more.
We are asking that families with loved ones at the
Our Lady of Guadalupe Cemetery please help in maintaining your loved one's plots. Thank you.

Saint of The Day
We learn compassion from allowing our lives to be influenced by compassionate people, by seeing life from their perspectives, and reconsidering our own values.
Born in Varennes, Canada, Marie Marguerite Dufrost de Lajemmerais had to interrupt her schooling at the age of 12 to help her widowed mother. Eight years later she married François d’Youville; they had six children, four of whom died young. Despite the fact that her husband gambled, sold liquor illegally to Native Americans, and treated her indifferently, she cared for him compassionately until his death in 1730.
Even though she was caring for two small children and running a store to help pay off her husband’s debts, Marguerite d’Youville still helped the poor. Once her children were grown, she and several companions rescued a Quebec hospital that was in danger of failing. She called her community the Institute of the Sisters of Charity of Montreal; the people called them the “Grey Nuns” because of the color of their habits. In time, a proverb arose among the poor people of Montreal, “Go to the Grey Nuns; they never refuse to serve.” In time, five other religious communities traced their roots to the Grey Nuns.
The General Hospital in Montreal became known as the Hôtel Dieu (House of God) and set a standard for medical care and Christian compassion. When the hospital was destroyed by fire in 1766, Mère Marguerite knelt in the ashes, led the Te Deum—a hymn to God’s providence in all circumstances—and began the rebuilding process. She fought the attempts of government officials to restrain her charity, and established the first foundling home in North America.
Pope Saint John XXIII, who beatified Mère Marguerite d’Youville in 1959, called her the “Mother of Universal Charity.” She was canonized in 1990, and her liturgical feast is celebrated on October 16.
