On Wednesday, October 30, the Knights of Columbus, Council 10208, is sponsoring a program to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe.  The devotion is part of the KofC Silver Rose program and honors Our Lady as the Patroness of the Americas and affirms the sanctity of all human life.  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.  The Silver Rose will arrive in Mexico City on the Feast Day of our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12.

The rose symbolizes one of the roses that fell from Juan Diego's cloak when he delivered the Virgin's message to the bishop on December 12, 1531.  The program this year will include a Rosary, Mass, and additional Prayers.  The Rosary will begin at 8:30 a.m.  KofC members are encouraged to attend, and all parishioners are invited to join us in this celebration.
