When Pope John Paul II visited Mexico in 1979 he said that

The Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe will be the centre from which the light of the gospel of Christ will illuminate the entire world by means of the miraculous image of His mother.

To fulfil his words 220 full sized copies of the image have been made, one for every country in the world. These copies have been touched to the original image and formally consecrated, affording them authorised relic status.

You are very welcome to pray before the Relic Image at

St Charles Borromeo Church, Jarratt Street, Hull on Saturday 23rd until Thursday 28th October

and

St Wilfrid’s Church, Duncombe Place, York Saturday 30th until Sunday 31st October.
