SILVER ROSE PRAYER SERVICE IN HONOR OF LIFE AND OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE
On Thursday, June 5th, and Friday, June 6th at 6:30 PM, St. John XXIII Knights of Columbus Council 5634 sponsored prayer services at St. Rita Catholic Church to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe and express both international unity and dedication to the sanctity of human life. The prayer services, in English and Spanish, included the Holy Rosary, Liturgy of the Word, and Act of Consecration.
The Silver Rose Program is an internationally sponsored K of C prayer service. A “silver rose” is the centerpiece of this program as it makes its way from parishes in Canada through the USA to Mexico on its nine-month journey. The journey will conclude on December 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe at the basilica in Mexico City.
Just under 100 adults and children attended and each attendee received a prayer and pledge card as they entered. At the end of the service, they were invited to deliver their pledge to Our Lady of Guadalupe and to defend human life. These pledges will be presented to Our Lady at the Basilica of Guadalupe in Monterrey Mexico, on her feast day on December the 12th.
