HOULTON — All are welcome to gather for the Silver Rose Prayer Service at St. Mary of the Visitation Church, located on 112 Military Street in Houlton, on Friday, June 3, at 6 p.m. The service will begin with the praying of the Rosary followed by a Mass for Our Lady of Guadalupe. Each year, silver roses are stewarded by Knights of Columbus councils along routes from Canada to Mexico, honoring respect for life, the spiritual renewal of each nation, and the advancement of the message of Our Lady of Guadalupe. In 1960, the Columbian Squires, a youth organization of the Knights of Columbus, came up with the idea of running a rose to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Monterrey, Mexico.
