For Catholic Schools
An authentic tilma image for every classroom
A 24" × 36" rolled canvas reproduction of the tilma of Saint Juan Diego, 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.

The Guadalupe Jubilee Year lands mid-school-year
Pope Leo XIV has granted a Jubilee Year running Oct 12, 2026 through Oct 12, 2027 — marking 50 years since the tilma was transferred into the current Basilica. A natural anchor for religious ed units this year.

Catholic schools have used the 24" × 36" rolled canvas for:
Religious education classrooms
One per classroom means every religion teacher has the actual image on the wall during the Dec 12 unit.
School chapel or prayer room
A visible focal point for morning prayer, Advent, and feast-day Masses.
Main hallway or lobby
Sets tone from the first door — especially at schools with a strong Hispanic community.
Library and study spaces
Beside a Marian book display or Latin American history section.
Cafeteria or student commons
Displayed above a small altar or memorial space during December.
Faculty lounge and offices
Quiet devotional presence in staff spaces during the busy Advent weeks.
Dec 12 processions and Masses
Carried in procession or stationed at the altar for the school Mass on the feast day.
Graduation gift or class legacy
Framed and gifted by a graduating class as a permanent addition to the school.
Bulk parish + school orders
Diocesan or school-district orders across multiple buildings — email for a quote.
Ties into what you're already teaching
The image is a natural fit for units across the curriculum, not just religion class. Two short pieces on the site — free to link from your LMS or share in a bulletin — go deep on why:
A Codex in the Image
What the Aztecs read at a glance — the mestiza face, the Nahui Ollin, the winter-solstice constellations on her mantle. Good for religion, history, and Spanish classes.
Read →What Science Cannot Explain
The Nobel chemist, the NASA scientist, the 13 figures found in the eyes. Faith-and-science material for high school religion or philosophy.

From a customer’s home
“We have since been able to learn more about the history of the tilma and spent time teaching our three young children about it.”
Two Mexican certifications
Both documents ship with every canvas. Religion teachers, campus ministers, and department chairs can read them alongside the image and cross-check the language. Full text in Spanish and English is on our Authenticity page.

See this canvas →Ordering in quantity: questions and answers
- Do you offer volume pricing for Catholic schools?
- 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 we buy for each classroom?
- 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.
