Project BLACK MAMBA: Advent

Today is the optional memorial of Saint Juan Diego Cuautlatoatzin (1474-1548): Saint-link ūnus, Saint-link duo, & Wikipedia-link.

Commentary: Wayback Machine. The Holy Redeemer bulletin doesn't relate anything about St. Juan Diego, so even more than usual I would urge you to avail yourself of the Wayback Machine hyperlink.

We also remember Saint Valeria of Limoges, Martyr (date indeterminate, A.K.A. Valerie): Martyr-link & Wikipedia-link.
