The Silver Rose program features a sculpted silver rose carried by Knights from Canada, through the United States, to Mexico, bringing the Culture of Life message on its journey. The silver rose is received at councils and parishes along its way and Masses and prayer services are offered. Special border ceremonies with Fourth Degree honor guards are held when the rose is transferred from one state to another. The Silver Rose program is a sign of the Order's unity on life issues.
This past May, three Silver Roses left Ontario, Canada, and have been traversing the United States by a Western, Central and Eastern route. In November, all three Roses will come together in Laredo, Texas, to travel over the International Bridge and be delivered to Knights from Monterey, Mexico.
Sunday, October 25, 2009, the Silver Rose will arrive in Salina. A special Mass officiated by Bishop Emeritus George Fitzsimons, will be held at 5:30pm at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Salina.

There will be activities and games for everyone, as well as hot dogs and other picnic fare to eat. Come out and enjoy a great afternoon of fellowship.

There's always much that must be done to keep our order moving -- to keep our Council wide awake, and constantly improving.
The task is great if it should fall upon a very few, but light, if we could but depend on you, and you, and you.
You'll find the bigger, harder jobs are quickly changed to fun, if they are sort'a spread out thin, and done by everyone.
So, if you're proud to be a knight, and if you really care; roll up your sleeves, put on your jeans, pitch in and do your share.
