Knights of Columbus One Life, One Rose
The Our Lady of Guadalupe Silver Rose
has been a Knights of Columbus tradition
for 58 years. In 1960, groups of
Columbian Squires in Mexico, Canada
and the United States decided to honor Our Lady ofGuadalupe by carrying a rose across North America from
Canada to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe inMonterrey, Mexico. The One Life, One Rose Program
demonstrates the unity between Knights of Columbus inCanada, the U.S. and Mexico, through a series of prayer
services promoting the dignity of all human life andhonoring Our Lady. Each year Silver Roses are
stewarded by councils along routes from Canada toMexico. Every stop the Silver Rose makes throughout
the pilgrimage is a prayer 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. Our local Knights of Columbus will host theSilver Rose here at St. Mary’s at all Masses theweekend of October 7-8th.

From the moment
of our founding in 1882, charity has been the first principle of the Knights of Columbus. We are men of faith and men of action. Our Principles-
All the good works we do are formed by our four core principles: Charity- Our Catholic faith teaches us to “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Members of the knights of Columbus show love for their neighbors by conducting food drives and donating the food to local soup kitchens and food pantries, by volunteering at Special Olympics, and by supporting, both spiritually and materially, mothers who choose life for their babies. Knights recognize that our mission, and our faith in God, compels us to action. There is no better way to experience love and compassion than by helping those in need, a call we answer every day. Unity– None of us is as good as all of us. Members of the Knights of Columbus all know that – together – we can accomplish far more than any of us could individually. So we stick together…we support one another. That doesn't mean that we always agree or that there is never a difference of opinion. It does mean that – as a Knight of Columbus – you can count on the support and encouragement of your brother Knights as you work to make life better in your parish and community. Fraternity- The Venerable Michael J. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, in large part, to provide assistance to the widows and children left behind when the family breadwinner died – often prematurely. The Order’s top-rated insurance program continues to do this today, as do individual Knights, who last year gave more than 10 million hours of their time to assist sick and/or disabled members and their families. In the Knights of Columbus, we watch out for and take care of one another. Patriotism- Members of the Knights of Columbus, be they Americans, Canadians, Mexicans, Cubans, Filipinos, Poles, or Dominicans, are patriotic citizens. We are proud of our devotion to God and country, and believe in standing up for both. Whether it’s in public or private, the Knights remind the world that Catholics support their nations and are amongst the greatest citizens. Visit our Principles Page for a printable version.

In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others.
National Police Week is a collaborative effort of many organizations dedicated to honoring America’s law enforcement community.
