Join thousands of Catholics across North America in asking for Our Lady of Guadalupe’s intercession through the Silver Rose program. The rose will be making its way through Illinois and will be stopping at SFX!
Join us at 6:30pm on Wednesday, August 27 for a special Prayer Service.
In 1960, the Columbian Squires, a youth organization of the Knights of Columbus, came up with the idea of running a rose to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Monterrey, Mexico, to honor Our Lady. The rose was chosen to commemorate Saint Juan Diego and the miracle of the roses.
Today, eight roses travel along different North American routes that include Canada, the United States and Mexico. Every stop the Silver Rose makes throughout the pilgrimage is a rosary-centered occasion to pray for respect for life, the spiritual renewal of each nation, and the advancement of the message of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
