Celebrate Guadalupe, Dec. 12
A Mass and reception in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe will be held Saturday, Dec. 12.
Sr. Gloria Ines Loya, PBVM, who teaches theology at the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley and serves on the leadership team of the Sisters of the Presentation, will share some reflections at the 5 p.m. Mass.
A reception will follow in the Conference Room.
Sister Gloria’s family immigrated from Mexico. Her grandmother had to leave Mexico as a young widow with her young children during the Mexican Revolution. The family worked their way through Texas to El Cerrito, working in canneries. They saved their money and bought property on Balra Drive, where they have a long and wonderful history.
