Knights of Columbus Silver Rose Pilgrimage Tour
March 7 @ 12:00 am to March 14 @ 12:00 am
Each year, the Knights of Columbus share the message of Our Lady of Guadalupe and promote respect for life by participating in a Silver Rose pilgrimage. Honoring the story of St. Juan Diego and the Miracle of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Silver Rose program demonstrates the unity between Knights of Columbus in Canada, the United States and Mexico, through a series of prayer services promoting the dignity of all human life and honoring Our Lady.
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.
During March 7-14, 2026, the Silver Rose will be traveling through our Diocese, beginning in Gainesville, and ending in Atlantic Beach. During that time, the Silver Rose, escorted by the Knights on Bikes, and will be making stops at eight or more parishes for prayer services.
