Our Lady of Guadalupe Shrine was dedicated on June 3, 2000. It is the fruit of collective dreams, with the guidance of Rev. T. R. Blanco, O.S.A., artistic design of Port Arthur's Douglas Clark, architectural design by Architectural Alliance, Inc., Beaumont, TX, and construction by Pelco, Inc. of Liberty, TX.  

The 17’ bronze statue in patina color was sculptured by artist Miguel Angel Macias, from Mexico City, and Douglas Clark. It is set directly on top of rocks brought to Port Arthur from the Mount Tepeyac, Mexico City, Mex., where the Virgin appeared to Juan Diego.

The 7' bronze statue of St. Juan Diego, sculpted by the same artists, was placed on the shrine site November 2, 2001.

'Cantamos Con El Corazon' is the dedication hymn. 'We Sing This Gift To You' is the English version. Compositions are by Ramon A. Solis, a parishioner of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Shrine website was designed by SOLISTX.

BIENVENIDO!
