(KAIR)--Benedictine College officials have announced that Monsignor Eduardo Chavez Sanchez, a canon of the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City, will be giving a special presentation on Our Lady Of Guadalupe Friday evening on the college's campus.

The event is scheduled to take place in the McAllister Boardroom in the Ferrell Academic Center starting at 7:00. It is free and open to the public.

Monsignor Chavez will also dedicate the St. Juan Diego Chapel, which is the latest worship space to be added to the campus. That event is scheduled to take place Friday afternoon at 5:30 in the lobby of Our Lady of Guadalupe Hall. A new statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe will be dedicated at the same time. The public is invited to this event as well.
