The Our Lady of Guadalupe Prayer Program began August 3, 2011 at the 129th Supreme Convention in Denver. This program features an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe along with prayer books and cards. Not only has each image has been blessed by His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, but each one was also touched to the original image of Holy Mary of Guadalupe on St. Juan Diego's tilma. Each image bears the signature of the Rector of the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe and was sealed with a bit of soil from the first Church at Tepeyac Hill - the very terrain on which Our Lady appeared to St. Juan Diego almost 480 years ago.

This is a two year program and our wish is that all Councils and parishes take advantage of this opportunity. Diocesan coordinators have prepared a schedule for the Icon to travel throughout each diocese. To see the recent activity and location of the Icon, please follow the link below. For additional information, please contact your Diocesan Chairman or Church Activities Director Paul Warda. Also, please remember, the Prayer Services are another great opportunity to give Catholic men the opportunity to join the Knights of Columbus. Please have membership material available at the Prayer Services and be willing to promote the good works and deeds of the Knights of Columbus.
