Abstract
My dissertation examines Juan Diego’s nearly five-century-long journey to sainthood in the Catholic Church. Tracing this development requires sifting through a great number of sources on Our Lady of Guadalupe and Juan Diego, and simply tracking down the most pertinent sources can be a monumental endeavor. Thanks to the Marian Graduate Student Fellowship, I spent two weeks in the Marian Library in May 2025 poring through more than forty books and pamphlets and almost two hundred newspaper clippings related to Juan Diego available in the Marian Library’s collections. I will highlight a few remarkable items.
