Help is needed at all their masses. We are looking for 2 people at each mass to maximize our handout(s); 2 minimum at St. Al's as well as 2 minimum at St. Vincent Palotti.
Thanking you in advance for your continued support in this and All the events you lend your support. If you report 30 minutes AFTER the mass begins that will be more than enough time to hand out to the majority of those attending that particular mass.

Fr. McGivney’s Relic – Available for Veneration – Friday, April 26

A special Mass will be offered at Christ the King Church, 200 Windsor Ave., Haddonfield, NJ at 7:00PM on Friday April 26. A first class relic of Blessed Michael J. McGivney will be present and available for veneration. The Mass will be said by Rev. Walter Norris.

The purpose of the Mass will be to thank Fr. McGivney for favors received and to request new ones, in hopes that a second miracle will be attributed to him. Everyone in attendance will have the opportunity to personally venerate the relic.

Knights of Columbus members, family members and friends are invited to participate. A representative of Christ the King Parish will describe how Fr. McGivney’s relic came to them at this time.

Please contact Mark Kiernan, 856-261-3074, [email protected], with any questions.

Brothers,
 The Worthy Grand Knight and fellow officers have recommended the following changes for our weekly prayer
requests, effective June 1, 2024.
 Weekly prayer intentions will be streamlined to focus on the criteria for our Closing Prayers at our meetings,
Before proceeding to the closing prayer, let me ask: Does any brother know of a member of this Council, or brother of
the Order, who is sick or in distress.
 “In distress,” will include concern for close family members, who are recently deceased or seriously ill.
 The prayer intentions will be included in the weekly emails for up to three (3) weeks.
 Ailing Brothers, Deceased Brothers, Ailing Family, and Deceased Family will continue to be published in the Fraternal
Report each month in “The Flagship,” which will be updated every 12 weeks.
Please continue to submit your weekly prayer intentions. Santa Maria Council will continue to pray for all those intentions
in our weekly and monthly reports, as well as those we hold in our hearts.
VIVAT JESUS!
Posted on behalf of Rolland C. Coutinho, DGK, Santa Maria #1443, Knights of Columbus
