Corporate Mass & Fifth Sunday Rosary
The Council is holding a Corporate Mass with a 5th Sunday Rosary Program to follow it, at Our Lady of Mount Carmel parish on Sunday July 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.

Corpus Christi Eucharistic Procession
The OLMC Knights Council participated, along with the other OLMC Ministries, in the Eucharistic Procession for the Feast of Corpus Christi this last Sunday. The Feast of Corpus Christi (Latin for “Body of Christ”) is the Roman Rite liturgical solemnity celebrating the reality of the body and blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in the Eucharist—known as transubstantiation.
Our Council along with Sodality and Rosary Makers decorated, manned, and provided readings at the first altar at the Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (4 total were set up). The Knights 4th Degree Assembly participated in constructing the canopy for Fr. John and the Monstrance containing Jesus, to travel under, and carry it throughout the procession.
