Our Knights of Columbus Council is hosting the Silver Rose Program for Life TONIGHT at 7:00 pm during the regularly scheduled Holy Hour. The Silver Rose program demonstrates the unity between Knights of Columbus in Canada, the United States and Mexico, through a series of prayer services promoting the dignity of all human life and honoring Our Lady. The journey of the Silver Rose begins each year in March and ends on December 12th, The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. During that time, Silver Roses travel from town to town along eight routes throughout North America.
