Party and devotion

Link to the Rosary

The Virgin of Guadalupe, Mother of the peoples, is invoked with confidence in the prayer of the Rosary. His mysteries lead the faithful to the life of Christ from the hand of Mary. In this temple of Mongomo, the Rosary prolongs the Guadalupan devotion sown by the first missionaries.

It offers a simple prayer to this advocation. Pray a Hail Mary for Equatorial Guinea and for world peace.
