What is OLG's Role in FCCW?

Our Lady of Guadalupe was declared the patroness of the Americas in 1979 in a prayer by Pope John Paul II.  During a talk about the New Evangelization of Our Lady of Guadalupe by Fr. Virgilio Elizondo in February 1996 at the Los Angeles Religious Education Congress, FCCW Foundress Patricia Scileppi heard and recognized the characteristics he identified in the story of OLG as the same elements used by the Fellowship of Catholic Christian Women. In his talk, Fr. Elizondo said, "here is where we begin to see Our Lady as a model for the new evangelization."
 
Pat encourages all members of FCCW to integrate the 10 characteristics of the New Evangelization of OLG into running their fellowships. FCCW is the fulfillment of the call to evangelization which Pope John Paul II made in that first trip to the Americas in 1979 and Our Lady of Guadalupe is FCCW's patroness. Simply put, these characteristics are the guidelines FCCW uses to carry out its Mission .
