New Knights video featuring a Latin Mass Council

 Brother Knights,

We are pleased to share a new video produced by the Knights of Columbus which highlights the young Grand Knight of a Latin Mass council, Mater Misericordiae Council 15576 in Phoenix. It is based at Mater Misericordiae Latin Mass parish, which exclusively offers the Traditional Latin Mass, staffed by priests of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP). The Council is one of our sponsoring councils. It was also founded by Father Kenneth Walker, FSSP (+) of holy memory, who joined our monthly teleconference one time as he was starting up the council. 

This is a great achievement and we congratulate the Council on its growth and youthful vitality – demonstrating the Latin Mass can be impactful in attracting young men to the Knights of Columbus.

The Hermits will be offering the following during Lent:  

  • 40 Traditional Latin Masses (Carmelite Rite)

  • 40 days of fasting and penance

Enroll those most in need to benefit from 40 Masses and 40 days of prayer and penance offered by the Discalced Hermits of Our Lady of Mount Carmel this Lent. Anyone can be enrolled but especially it is beneficial for those in need of conversion, healing, or strength.

No human tongue can enumerate the favors that trace back to the Sacrifice of the Mass. The sinner is reconciled with God; the just man becomes more upright; sins are wiped away; vices are uprooted; virtue and merit increase; and the devil’s schemes are frustrated.” – Saint Lawrence Justinian

Friday October 27 - Day of Fasting for the Holy Land & Upcoming Retreats

Brother Knights,

Supreme Knight Kelly is encouraging all Knights to participate in a day of prayer and fasting Friday October 27 to help bring peace to the Holy Land. We share his message below:

Brother Knights,

As the conflict in the Holy Land continues to escalate, Pope Francis has called on all Christians throughout the world to unite in prayer, fasting and penance to help bring about peace. In his weekly message, the Holy Father implored those in the Holy Land to, “Lay down weapons and heed the cries for peace from the poor, the people, and the innocent children.”

I urge all Knights of Columbus and their families to join me in answering our Holy Father’s call on Friday, October 27. In addition to your own prayerful intentions, an hour of prayer will convene at 6 pm (Rome time) in St. Peter’s Square on Friday for peace in the world.

Together in prayer, we can ask for Christ’s divine mercy to bring resolution to this conflict.

Fraternally,

Patrick E. Kelly

Supreme Knight
