A Podcast by the Youth Guild of St. José Sánchez del Río
Welcome to Stories from the Guild, a podcast produced by the Youth Guild of St. José Sánchez del Río—an outreach of the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The Youth Guild joyfully welcomes all young people, from toddlers to teenagers, ages 2 to 17, to enroll free of charge and grow together in faith, virtue, and love of Our Lord and Our Lady.

With simple reflections, guided prayers, and the voices of our youth, every episode invites you to slow down and enter into a moment of grace.
