On Thursday, the 18th of November, the Knights of Columbus sponsored the Silver Rose Program honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe as the patroness of the Americas and affirming our dedication to the sanctity of all human life. Eight Silver Roses are carried by Knights from city to city, district to district, and council to council from Canada to arrive at the Basilica in Mexico City on the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The rose symbolizes one of the roses that fell from Juan Diego’s cloak when he delivered Our Lady's message to Bishop on December 12, 1531.

The 2nd Flight was won by Scott Krantz, Ed Miller, Tom Conrad and Dan Murphy. Winners of the 3rd. Flight were John Hoefl, Dodson Christian, Mike Long, Chuck Jordon.

Family of the Month: Rick and Marie Hylden. Also in attendance was Granddaughter Lyla Henry to steal the show. The Hylden's are always there to jump in and help when needed. You've seen Rick working the 'Fr. Bill outdoor Radio Station' under all kinds of weather conditions. Marie is a Lector, Past President of LOSH (and still very active), Church decorating committee. And ofcourse Rick behind the bar at our Knights functions, set up, and many other functions.
Rick and Marie, Thanks for all you do. And that Granddaughter is a beautiful little girl.
