For Diocesan Offices

An authentic Guadalupe canvas for every parish in the diocese

The 24" × 36" tilma reproduction, printed from a digital archive of the Sacred Original that Cardinal Norberto Rivera Carrera, Archbishop Primate of Mexico, certified on December 12, 1998 as a faithful reproduction. The image, known as the Virgen Peregrina, was blessed by Pope John Paul II on January 25, 1999. The canvas is printed in the USA on archival stock. Two Mexican certifications are included with every canvas.

Volume pricing, purchase orders accepted, single-PO fulfillment across every parish or school in your diocese.

Timing: Pope Leo XIV's Jubilee Year for Our Lady of Guadalupe runs October 12, 2026 through October 12, 2027 — a natural anchor for a diocesan-wide initiative.

What dioceses have used it for

Bulk orders that make more sense at the diocesan level than at each parish separately.

A Jubilee gift to every parish

Distribute one canvas to each parish in the diocese as a marker of the Guadalupe Jubilee Year. Bishop-branded card, single PO, single ship-to (chancery) or split across parishes.

Catholic school system rollout

One canvas per religion classroom across every parochial school in the diocese. Coordinated with the superintendent's office.

Hispanic ministry initiative

For the diocese's Hispanic Ministry office to distribute at deanery meetings, retreats, or leadership training.

Ordination and installation gifts

A standard gift for newly ordained priests, newly installed pastors, or transitional deacons.

Retiring pastors and jubilarians

A permanent piece for priests marking 25, 40, or 50 years of ordination.

Cathedral Guadalupe chapel

A large-format canvas for a dedicated Guadalupe side chapel or shrine at the cathedral.

Newman Centers and Catholic colleges

Distribute to campus ministries at every Catholic college and Newman Center in the diocese.

Diocesan Marian year initiative

Some dioceses run their own Marian year. This offers a concrete, distributable piece for parish programs.

Seminary and formation houses

A canvas in the seminary chapel or the residence corridors of formation houses.

Two Mexican certifications

Both documents ship with every canvas. Diocesan review staff can read them alongside the image and cross-check the language for themselves. The full text of each, plus the fidelity chain, is on our Authenticity page.

How diocesan orders work

  1. 1

    Request a quote

    Email with approximate quantity, SKU mix (framed / rolled / gallery wrap), single or split shipping addresses, and any required delivery date. Written quote returned within one business day.

  2. 2

    Issue a purchase order

    PO issued against the quote. Net 30 payment terms standard for diocesan offices with established accounts. We can also accept check, ACH, or credit card at your preference.

  3. 3

    Fulfillment

    Standard fulfillment window for bulk orders is 3–4 weeks from PO. Single ship-to (chancery, warehouse) is fastest; split shipping to individual parishes adds 1–2 weeks and a per-shipment charge that we build into the quote.

    Certificates and paperwork

    Every canvas ships with the two Mexican certificates of authenticity (Catholic Church certification and 2000 Jubileo seal). Diocesan orders receive a signed invoice on Saxon Enterprises letterhead suitable for accounting records.

Ordering in quantity: questions and answers

Do you offer volume pricing for dioceses?
Yes. One to 4 canvases are at the store price. From 5 to 24 of the same canvas there is a small-group discount, from 25 to 99 institutional pricing, and from 100 up the diocesan tier with the best pricing. Each tier is quoted: email wfleonard@primosmaternos.com or text 732-673-4260 with the quantity and sizes, and we send a written quote within one business day.
Do you accept purchase orders and Net 30 terms?
Yes. Parishes, Catholic schools and diocesan offices can all order against a purchase order: reply to your written quote with the PO number and we invoice against it. Net 30 terms are for established accounts. On a first order, payment by check, ACH or credit card is due before the canvases ship.
How do we submit a tax-exempt certificate?
You do not need to. Primos Maternos does not charge sales tax on any order, so the price on the quote or at checkout is the total. If your office requires a certificate on file anyway, email it to wfleonard@primosmaternos.com with your purchase order and we keep it with your account.
Can one order ship to several addresses?
Yes. One quote and one purchase order can cover shipments to several parishes, schools or classrooms. Shipping everything to one address, such as a chancery or a school office, is fastest: quantity orders ship 3 to 4 weeks from the purchase order. Splitting the order across addresses adds 1 to 2 weeks and a per-shipment charge, which we build into the quote.
What size Our Lady of Guadalupe picture should a diocese order for its parishes and schools?
The 12 by 18 inch canvas, $57, ready to hang, for each classroom, office or small chapel. The 36 by 54 inch canvas, $324, for a parish hall, a church wall or a Hispanic ministry space, where it is seen from across the room; it ships rolled for local framing. The 24 by 36 inch canvas, $114 unframed or $214 framed, sits between them and suits the altar or procession on the December 12 feast.
