On Nov. 21, the Knights of Columbus Council #1653 of St. Joseph in Beeville hosted the Silver Rose Mass. The Running of the Roses started in 1960 by a group of KC Columbian Squires in Mexico City to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe's intercession in our lives and to support the sanctity of life. Five different silver roses travel from Canada, through the U.S., into Mexico, prior to the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe on Dec. 12.
