Kassandra Jamie, 12, of Streamwood, lights candles at a celebration honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas, in Des Plaines in early December. This was quite an event that I truly enjoyed covering as a photographer. I have covered pilgrimages before, like the one in Lourdes, France where the sick go to pray at the grotto, which is famous for the Marian apparitions of Our Lady of Lourdes, said to have occurred in 1858 to Bernadette Soubirous. Whether in Southern France or Des Plaines, Illinois, I always walk away feeling good about people and know that hope and prayer are alive and well.
