Silver Rose Program

Worthy Grand Knights and Program Directors and Brother David,

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. The Silver Rose program is a Supreme Life Program for which all participating councils can get credit for the Columbian Award [SP-7] and Star Council.

Your council has an opportunity to participate in the Silver Rose program this year without the need to arrange a time for your parish. All you need to do is to promote this to your council and parish and invite them to participate online at 7:00 PM on July 23rd. A summary flyer for this program is available for download.

Councils participating in the Columbus Diocese Supreme Silver Rose Program will be participating virtually through GoToMeeting and need to do the following:
