---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2021 Silver Rose Run... The Our Lady of Guadalupe Silver Rose has been a KofC tradition for 61 years. In 1960, groups of Columbian Squires in Mexico, Canada and the US decided to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe by carrying a rose across North America from Canada to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Monterrey, Mexico. In 2001 Supreme Knight Carl Anderson, at the 119th Supreme Council Meeting addressed the effort in culture of life terms, referring to the Our Lady of Guadalupe - One Life, One Rose Program. He urged that it be expanded to every North American jurisdiction. Every stop along the route of the Silver Rose Pilgrimage is an occasion for prayer and spiritual renewal centered on the rosary. English, French and Spanish booklets containing recommended prayers, scripture readings and a litany accompany the Silver Rose. The Silver Rose route for Missouri enters in September and leaves in October. The complete list of all Missouri destinations for the Silver Rose in 2021 are contained HERE for your use in planning and promoting your Council, Assembly and Chapter's participation in the run this year.
