"It Is A Miracle" Our Lady of Guadalupe Re-Opens BY JOE ARCE AND JOSE FAUS For 23 years, the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe on Cesar E. Chavez Avenida on the city’s Westside has been designated a shrine. It was closed in 1990 in response to a shortage of priests and the proximity of Sacred Heart Church, a bigger building on the south side of the neighborhood. The only services the church has seen is a Friday morning mass for the schools in the area, an annual mariachi mass and special events. Teresa Sauceda has been a volunteer with the Our Lady of Guadalupe Shrine Association, a not-for-profit group set up to “preserve the historical Christian values of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. Sauceda explained what the designation has meant for the church.
