Program Services
| Description | Grants | Expenses |
|---|---|---|
| We went public with the apostolate on the Feast of St. Veronica--July 12, 2025--and had a public Mass celebrated to commemorate the occasion. In early August, we traveled to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, WI, to consecrate the apostolate to her and put it under her special patronage and protection. Since then, we have been building out the online infrastructure of the apostolate, including its website and membership portal, and undertook no other specific programs. | $0 | $34,714 |
