FAITH BRIEFS for Saturday, Aug. 5

KENOSHA — The public is invited to join a special Silver Rose Prayer and Mass at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 7307 40th Ave, coordinated by the Kenosha Knights of Columbus councils.

They will honor the message of our Lady of Guadalupe. The Prayer and Mass will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 9, beginning at 6 p.m. in the church with light refreshments to follow. Each year, from early March through mid-December, Silver Roses that have been blessed by the pope are stewarded by the Knights of Columbus councils along routes that begin in Canada and move throughout the United States and eventually end up in Mexico. Every stop the Silver Rose makes on the pilgrimage is an opportunity for Catholics to pray for: respect for life issues, for the spiritual renewal of each nation, and for the advancement of the message of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
