Silver Rose escort, Sep 22, 2021

The KonB Stockton was called upon to escort and transfer the Silver Rose from St. Lukes in Stockton to St. Anthonys in Hughson.  Here POD Joe Lilly is handing off the Silver Rose to GK Keith Drueen of Council 3604, with Charlie Morris and Darrel D'Costa of the 4th Degree Assembly 3340 overseeing the transfer.  We processed into the church where we prayed a rosary, had a liturgy of the Word and reflected on the events 500 years ago on Tepeyac hill with St. Juan Diego and the Blessed Virgin Mary.  Several Silver Roses travel every year from Canada to Mexico arriving at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadelupe in Mexico City on the December 12 feast day.   Every stop the Silver Rose makes throughout the pilgrimage is a rosary-centered occasion for Knights, parishioners and community members to pray for respect for life.

Our Lady of the Rosary, Run.  October 3, 2020

We had a fantastic day this past Saturday for the Our Lady of the Rosary Run! This was our first event in the Stockton Diocese in several years. There were only 5 of us, so it was just the mustard seed of what we hope will grow to an active diocese of the KonB. In Stockton, Deacon Greg lead us in the Liturgy of the Word and then blessed our bikes. We rode to Murphys where Father John Paul met us and lead us in the rosary. We gathered up for lunch in Murphys and we visited and made new friends. Thank you for everyone who participated and especially for all your prayers!
