The Silver Rose is coming to Ss Simon and Jude Cathedral!

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.

Tuesday, October 15th at 6:30 in the Cathedral

Starts with Mass followed by a reflection on Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Sanctity of Life!
