St. John Fisher Silver Rose Prayer Service
The Silver Rose program is a Knights of Columbus tradition started by Columbian Squires of Council #2312 (Monterey, Mexico), which ran a rose from the International Bridge in Laredo to Monterey to commemorate St. Juan Diego and the role of the roses in the devotion of Our Lady of Guadalupe. While a real rose was used in 1960, today silver roses are carried along eight routes across Canada, the United States and Mexico.
The prayer service (see https://files.kofc.org/download/assets/Silver+Rose+Prayer+Service+Booklet/7a95905a9d8411f08608be18272ac13c) includes
- Introduction / remarks on Our Lady of Guadalupe
- Rosary (Glorious Mysteries)
- Liturgy of the Word
- Act of Consecration (Evangelium Vitae, St. John Paul II)
- Litany of Loreto
- Final Blessing (if a priest is present)
The St. John Fisher Round Table of St. Thomas à Becket Council 16236 is pleased to host the Silver Rose Prayer service for the second consecutive year. A slide show and excerpt of the choir's offering of the Litany of Loreto from the 2025 prayer service is linked below.
