• Consecration to the Holy Family - Knights of Columbus Council #6138 is sponsoring the Consecration to the Holy Family on Sunday, Dec. 29, on the Feast of the Holy Family. We invite each family to consecrate themselves to the ideal model of familial love set by Jesus, Mary and Joseph. The Mass celebrants will lead a Consecration to the Holy Family prayer at the end of Masses. Prayer cards and instructions will be distributed at all Masses on the weekend prior so that families may prepare. We will have a small reception in Madonna Hall (light refreshments and simple games) following each Mass.
For more information, contact Alan Inkenbrandt, alinken@gmail.com, Knights of Columbus Council #6138.
