The Silver Rose has been traveling throughout the Diocese of Corpus Christi. The Silver Rose will be available for viewing at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Portland from Oct. 29 - Nov. 5. From there it will be transferred to Beeville on Nov. 5, then on Nov. 12, it will be transferred to Eagle Pass, then to Laredo in preparation to be handed off at the border en route to Mexico City. The actual transfer will be on Friday, Dec. 10 at 1 p.m. after a Holy Mass at the Cathedral in Laredo.
The Silver Rose symbolizes the commitment of the Knights of Columbus to restoring respect for the sanctity of human life from conception until death.
Every stop the Silver Rose makes throughout the pilgrimage is a rosary-centered occasion for Knights, parishioners and community member to pray for respect for life.
