At all Masses over the weekend of August 17-18, Our Knights of Columbus Council will host a Marian Prayer Program for the benefit of persecuted Christians around the world, particularly in the Middle East. The purpose of the program is to spread devotion to Our Lady and pray for our brothers and sisters of faith who are at risk around the world. As part of this initiative, the Knights will distribute prayer cards at the end of Mass to parishioners. The monthly family Rosary will be held after the 10:00 am Mass and our prayer intentions will be for all those suffering from this persecution.
