August 6, 2026: The Transfiguration of the Lord: The Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord is celebrated annually on August 6 . The feast commemorates the Transfiguration of Jesus, recorded in the Gospels of Matthew (17:1–9), Mark (9:2–8), and Luke (9:28–36). After six days, Jesus took Peter, James, and John up a high mountain—traditionally Mount Tabor—where His face shone like the sun and His clothes became dazzling white. Moses and Elijah appeared, symbolizing the Law and the Prophets, and spoke with Him. A bright cloud descended, and the voice of God declared, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him” . The disciples were filled with awe, and Jesus instructed them to keep the vision secret until after His resurrection.

Saint Benedict gave it impetus and Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, the great 12th-century reformer, was such an eloquent spokesman for the guardian angels that angelic devotion assumed its current form in his day. A feast in honor of the guardian angels was first observed in the 16th century. In 1615, Pope Paul V added it to the Roman calendar.

Saturday December 12, 2026- Our Lady of Guadalupe: Our Lady of Guadalupe is a revered Catholic title of the Virgin Mary, stemming from four apparitions reported by indigenous peasant St. Juan Diego in December 1531 on Tepeyac Hill (now Mexico City). She left her miraculous image on his cactus-fiber cloak (tilma), symbolizing her role as a universal, loving mother.
In December 1531, Mary appeared to Juan Diego, a recently baptized Aztec convert, requesting that a church be built at Tepeyac Hill. When the local bishop demanded proof, Mary instructed Juan Diego to gather fresh, blooming Castilian roses—which were out of season—in his tilma. Upon presenting the cloak to the bishop, the roses spilled out, leaving a perfectly rendered, vibrant image of the Virgin Mary miraculously emblazoned on the fabric.
