Upcoming Events
The Silver Rose Returns to Parkersburg
Sunday, July 20th, 9:45 am.
A silver rose on a nine-month pilgrimage will be the centerpiece of a special prayer service at St. Francis Xavier in on Sunday, July 20th before the 10:30 Mass. The Silver Rose Program is sponsored by Knights of Columbus to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe and express both international unity and dedication to the sanctity of human life.
The Our Lady of Guadalupe Silver Rose has been a Knights of Columbus tradition for over 65 years. The journey of the silver rose begins each year in March and ends on Dec.12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. During that time, Silver Roses travel from town to town along eight routes throughout North America. Several of those routes begin in Canada and end in Mexico at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Monterrey. Every stop along the route of the Silver Rose Pilgrimage is an occasion for prayer and spiritual renewal centered on the rosary.
The Silver Rose prayer service will be followed by Mass and a Mexican pot-luck lunch in the Parish Center.
All members of the community are encouraged to join K of C Council 594 on July 20th at 9:45 am.
