Wisconsin KC’s support bishops in taking action against sale, use of fetal body parts

In support of the bishops of Wisconsin: As Knights of Columbus we cannot be part of what Pope Francis has called the “complicit silence” of many who hear of atrocities and do nothing. We must act.
I invite you to consider that those same words apply completely and directly to the brutalization of women and children by Planned Parenthood. The intentional, vicious murder of innocents in the womb is an atrocity. That it is followed by the callous selling of their body parts should shock our culture into action.
Silver Rose visits Diocese of Madison
MADISON — On June 20, Knights of Columbus District 47 hosted a Silver Rose Prayer Service at St. Joseph Church.
In 1960, the Columbian Squires (the official youth organization of the Knights of Columbus) started a project to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas, by running a silver rose from Montreal, Canada, to Monterrey, Mexico.
There are now six roses that crisscross the country and end up in different locations. The one exhibited at the Madison service will end up at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C.

John Paul II and “America”
 |
|
In the years preceding the Great Jubilee of 2000, John Paul II held a series of continental synods to help the Church in different locales reflect on its distinctive situation at the end of the second millennium and to plan for a future of evangelical vigor in the third.
These special assemblies were easily named in the case of the Synods for Africa, Asia, and Europe. But when it came to the synod for the western hemisphere, John Paul threw a linguistic curve ball that made an important point.
Witness of Faith: Bonnie Miller
COLUMBUS — “I’m kind of like a go-to person for the liturgy. I’m not listed on the bulletin or anything, but if Father’s got any questions it’s, ‘talk to Bonnie, call Bonnie.'”
If you’ve attended a Mass at St. Jerome Parish in Columbus any time in the past 30 years, you’ve seen the results of Bonnie Miller’s work.
In addition to her day job in which she puts in 30 hours a week, Miller serves as the parish’s unofficial “liturgist.”
Parish duties
If you ask her what that all entails, she’ll say, with humility, preparing a liturgical outline for the cantor, lector, organist, and celebrating priest for each Sunday’s Mass; selecting the music; preparing the church for Holy Week and other liturgical seasons; training new cantors and lectors — and that’s just a small summary. She also participates as a lector and Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion herself.
Our Lady of Guadalupe Silver Rose Run
In 1960, Squires of the Knights of Columbus in Mexico, the United States, and Canada came up with the idea of honoring Mary with a rose. Mary used the rose as a sign of her appearance at Guadalupe.
They started at London in Ontario, Canada, and ended at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Monterrey, Mexico, presenting Mary with a live rose.
The following year, both a bronze rose and a silver rose were used. The decision was made to use a silver rose in the future. The silver rose is crafted from a real rose.
