The most recent Grand Jury report out of Pennsylvania again has shaken the faith of many Catholics and the Knights of Columbus would like take some action by calling us to prayer to God, that our Bishops and Holy Father will take the immediate steps to correct the wrongs of the past and to make the necessary changes to the system to prevent these from occurring in the future.  
 
We are calling all Catholics to enter into a Novena of prayer with the Rosary.  This Novena is a nine-day of praying the Rosary and it can be at Church, in your home, at work or when in the car beginning on Monday, September 17.  The final day we are hoping to gather dozens if not hundreds into the Church on Tuesday, September 25 to pray the final Rosary right after the regular Tuesday evening 6:00PM Mass.  
 
Then joing us in the Parish Hall for refreshments and fellowship.  Look for a Knight to hand out a prayer card to assist you and your families with praying this Rosary Novena on the weekend of September 15 & 16.  Council 7237
