USAFA has a "Cadet Sponsor Program" where local families provide a home-away-from-home to cadets. Information can be found on the USAFA website at https://www.usafa.edu/cadet-life/cadet-support-services/cadet-sponsor-program/. Please prayerfully consider if you could support these young men and women who have dedicated their life to service. Fun fact: Catholics make up the largest faith denomination in the military!

The journey of the silver rose begins each year in March and ends on December 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. During that time, Silver Roses travel from town to town along eight routes throughout North America. Several of those routes begin in Canada and end in Mexico. The Silver Rose Program began in 1960, when the first rose – a real, live one – was blessed by a bishop in Ontario. The rose then traveled to New York and then to Texas where it was taken across the border into Mexico. The rose ended its pilgrimage at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Monterrey on December 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Through the Silver Rose Program we honor not only Our Lady of Guadalupe and express the unity of the Knights of Columbus, but we also reaffirm the Order’s dedication to the sanctity of human life. It is to the Blessed Mother that we turn in prayer as we work to end the Culture of Death that grips our society. As we think in terms of ‘One Life, One Rose,’ it is most appropriate that we turn to Our Lady of Guadalupe who made known her will through Juan Diego and the miracle of the roses.

This discernment retreat for men ages 18-40 will be held at St. John Henry Newman Center, 4785 Stanton Road, Colorado Springs.

Immediately following the retreat, discerners and their parents (no other family members, please) are invited to a BBQ. RSVP by email to mlehnertz@icloud.com.
