The Silver Rose will be at St. Monica on Saturday, October 26.  A special Rosary to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe will be led by the Knights of Columbus at 4:30 PM (prior to 5:00 Mass).  We invite everyone to come to Mass early and join us in this wonderful prayer. The Rose will be on display during Mass, and will then be transferred to St. John the Baptist parish – its next stop on the way to Mexico.

The Silver Rose program was started in 1960 by the Knights of Columbus to commemorate the miraculous image of Our Lady of Guadalupe left on Saint Juan Diego's cloak by the fresh roses he brought to his bishop.

Each year, from early March through mid-December, Silver Roses are stewarded by Knights of Columbus councils along routes from Canada to Mexico. Every stop the Silver Rose makes throughout the pilgrimage is a rosary-centered occasion for Knights, parishioners and community members to pray for respect for life, for the spiritual renewal of each nation, and for the advancement of the message of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
