Summary

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.


Each month on Stories from the Guild, we gather as one guild family to reflect, pray, and journey deeper into the heart of Christ through our journal Full of Grace. 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.

  • May 2026: Mary, Our Lady of Grace
    May 15 2026

    For this episode of Stories from the Guild, we journey into the life and witness of Blessed Sandra Sabatini, a young woman whose joy, humility, and love for Christ continue to inspire young Catholics around the world. Through her story, listeners are invited to reflect on what it means to pursue holiness in everyday life — in friendship, service, prayer, and trust in God’s plan.

    We also explore the beauty and significance of Our Lady of Grace, reflecting on Mary’s loving intercession and the many graces the Lord desires to pour out through her maternal care. Alongside inspiring stories and biblical reflections, this episode tackles practical faith questions for young listeners, offering encouragement for living boldly and faithfully in today’s world.

    Filled with hope, wisdom, and gentle reminders of God’s presence, this conversation encourages listeners to seek holiness not someday, but now — trusting that even the smallest “yes” to the Lord can transform a life.

    Through thoughtful questions and shared reflection, this episode invites youth into deeper engagement with their faith—both personally and as part of a growing community.
