0 Comments

 
Each year we place a Christmas wreath on the Crucifixion Memorial Statue in St. Mary's Cemetery honoring all those who gave their lives in the military in support of Nation and Liberty during World War II.  Hence on 12/19, the day earmarked as the National Wreaths Across America day, we placed the Christmas wreath on the memorial to recognize and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice of their lives so that we can all live freely.  May they R.I.P.

Novena for One Nation Under God

10/25/2020

0 Comments

 
         MESSAGE  FROM  GRAND  KNIGHT  CAMERON  SYMONDS:
Brother Knights,

As we discussed at our last meeting, I believe it is critical, in the current contentious political climate, that we all pray for our nation as we approach Election Day on November 3rd. Therefore, I ask all of you to please join me in a novena these nine days prior to election. In the attachment, you will find a daily reflection, many from our Founding Fathers, regarding religion in our society followed by the prayer that Our Lady provided as “Our Lady of All Nations.” For those of you who may not be familiar with this prayer or Our Lady’s apparition behind it, I have provided a brief background.

Let us all pray that the nation finds tranquility and peace, regardless of who wins the election. It is our duty as patriotic Catholics and Brothers to support and defend our great nation - the United States of America - One Nation Under God!

Many thanks to our Worthy Lecturer Jack O'Brien for his assistance with the novena.

Vivat Jesus!
Cameron Symonds, GK

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLESSED FATHER MICHAEL J. McGIVNEY

Fr. McGivney was born August 12, 1852, in Waterbury, CT.  Happy 168th birthday to our founding Father!

Did you know........Fr. McGivney was the oldest of 13 children.  His miracle is the youngest of 13 and shares his name, Michael McGivney Schachle.

The very first Knights of Columbus Council #1, the San Salvador Council's Charter is dated May 15.  Fr. McGivney's miracle was a baby born on May 15.    It's no coincidence, it truly is a miracle.  Help celebrate Fr. McGivney's birthday and his miracle by checking out the video link below explaining the miracle attributed to him:
