Corporate Mass & 5th Sunday Rosary

Posted on by
The Council is holding a Corporate Mass with a 5th Sunday Rosary Program to follow it, at Our Lady of Mount Carmel parish this Sunday April 30th at 9 AM. All Knights and their families are welcome to join us and sit together as a group at Mass, to show our unity and support for our council and our parish. Directly following the Mass, brothers from our council will lead all those attending in the 5th Sunday Rosary. If possible, though not required, please wear either your Knights shirts or name badges.

The Supreme Knight asked all of us to accelerate our efforts to work with our pastors to strengthen our parishes and seek to strengthen Christian family life. To help bring parishioners together in a spiritual activity and promote devotion to Mary, the Knights of Columbus Supreme council announced this new church activity, the 5th Sunday Rosary Program. Knights, their families and other parishioners are encouraged to pray the rosary as a corporate body every time a 5th Sunday occurs during a month. Here is a link to a publication that speaks to the Building the Domestic Church initiative and how you can incorporate this into your family life.

Please come join us for our Corporate Mass and 5th Sunday Rosary!

We are also starting our Golf Tournament (May 6th) signups this weekend.  At whatever mass you attend, stop by the sign-up table in the Shrine Area to help assist with signups and passing out brochures for the tournament.  Signups will continue after all Mass Times from this weekend through April 29th weekend. As Kevin Saunders from the Arizona Bible class states “Come out and help Golf for God!”. Thanks again to Rudy Gradillas for coordinating this as our Golf Tournament Director this year!
