Tuesday July 25: Cardinal Burke to offer a Pontifical Mass for the Church in China

Brother Knights,

This Tuesday July 25 at 6pm, His Eminence Cardinal Raymond Burke will offer a Solemn High Pontifical Mass in Stamford, Connecticut, in honor of Our Lady of SheShan (a Marian apparition in China) – all for the intentions of the persecuted Catholics in China.

This is being done in coordination with the Cardinal Kung Foundation, which supports the underground Church in China. It was named after the white martyr Bishop of Shanghai, Cardinal Ignatius Kung Pinmei, who spent 30 years (1955-1985) in prison for the faith and died in exile in the U.S. in 2000. 

The Mass will be this Tuesday July 25 at 6pm St John’s Basilica in Stamford, Connecticut, and can be live streamed here: https://stjohnbasilica.org/livestream To see the flyer for the event visit: http://www.cardinalkungfoundation.org/fd/pdf/Solemn-TLM-Masses-2023.pdf

This event will be of interest to all Knights in our Network in two notable ways: First, this will be a Traditional Latin Mass, and secondly, it highlights the issue of liberty for the Catholic Church and her faithful, something the Knights of Columbus have long supported by word and deed.  All faithful are invited to attend or watch online.

Vivat Jesus,

Prayers of Reparation this Friday June 16 (Feast of the Sacred Heart)

 

Brother Knights:

Please see the below e-mail message from Supreme Office for the Knights, asking Knights to offer prayers of reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus this coming Friday June 16 for blasphemies and offenses given by the Los Angeles Dodgers by inviting an anti-Catholic group to one of their games. Since many Latin Mass attendees practice devotion to the Sacred Heart, we share this announcement below and encourage Knights to participate. 

The prayers can be downloaded here: https://www.kofc.org/en/resources/communications/litany-to-the-sacred-heart.pdf

====================================

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Brother Knight,
 
On Friday, June 16, Catholics around the world will celebrate God’s love for us on the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is a day to honor Christ’s humble gift of his very self, offered out of deep and abiding love for all of humanity.
 
This Friday, however, is also the day the Los Angeles Dodgers professional baseball team has chosen to celebrate a group of men who masquerade as Catholic nuns and mock the Virgin Mary, consecrated women, and Jesus Christ himself, through their shocking displays and vulgar behavior. As noted by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), the decision of the Dodgers is “not just offensive and painful to Christians everywhere; it is blasphemy.”
 
In response, the USCCB has called on Catholics to pray the Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 16 “as an act of reparation for the blasphemies against our Lord we see in our culture today.”
 
The Knights of Columbus urges its members to respond to the call of our bishops and make a stand for respect, decency and our Catholic faith. Through prayer and by making reparation, we’ll draw ever closer to Christ’s Sacred Heart, which Pope Francis has said is “the source of love and peace.”
