The Running of the Silver Rose to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe will be held on Friday, September 30, at 1:00 p.m.  The Knights of Columbus are sponsoring a program honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe at Sacred Heart of Jesus Church. This program honors Our Lady as the patroness of the Americas, and also affirms our dedication to the sanctity of all human life. All Knights of Columbus are encouraged to attend, and all parishioners are invited to join us.

This Devotion is part of the Knights of Columbus Silver Rose Program; the Silver Rose is carried by Knights from city to city, district to district, and council to council from Canada to the Cathedral in Mexico City - to arrive there on the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe.  The rose symbolized one of the roses that fell from Juan Diego's cloak when he delivered the Virgin's message to his bishop on December 12, 1531.

The Silver Rose will arrive from Benton in the late morning of Friday, the 30th; from here it will be delivered to Hot Springs in mid-afternoon the same day after our devotions.
