Frames are available in the gift shop... while supplies last.
The Knights of Columbus Council 3145 presents to you the Silver Rose. The rose is making a Pilgrimage stop right here in our Parish.
The journey of the silver rose begins each year in March and ends on Dec. 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. During that time, Silver Roses travel from town to town along eight routes throughout North America. Several of those routes begin in Canada and end in Mexico.
The rose ends its pilgrimage at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Monterrey on Dec. 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Today, due to the popularity of the program throughout the North American continent, eight silver roses travel unique routes.
