Silver Rose 2023

| Written by John Broome | Print
Each year, from early March through mid-December, eight 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.

On Thursday, November 9th the Knights of Columbus, Council 10208, sponsored the Silver Rose 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. Knights carry the Silver Rose from city to city, district to district, and council to council from Canada to the Basilica in Mexico City. The Silver Rose will arrive in Mexico City on the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The rose symbolizes one of the roses that fell from the cloak of Saint Juan Diego when he delivered the Virgin's message to his Bishop on December 12, 1531.
