Knights of Columbus John Clare Council #15485

Dear Brother Knights,
Like you, I have a devotion to Our Blessed Mother.  Currently we are in the period of time that is 100 years since Our Blessed Mother appeared in Fatima, Portugal.  She appeared to three shepherd children; Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta starting on May 13, 1917 and on the 13th of the next 5 months culminating in "the miracle of the sun" witnessed by 70,000 people on October 13, 1917.  I have a good DVD movie telling the story of this fascinating event which is available for loan to any of you - but a similar YouTube version is available here:

This event has been approved as "worthy of belief" by the Church.  And the message of Fatima is just as important today as it was 100 years ago.   Maybe more so.

I have been asked to organize a "Public Square Rosary" on Saturday, October 14, 2017 to celebrate this anniversary. Within the next couple of weeks, I should have the details figured out and will pass them on.  I hope many of you will be able to join me.

Our City, State and Nation desperately need the blessing of God.  Perhaps it is best requested through these events where our efforts demonstrate our faith and devotion.  Please prayerfully consider participating in a public rosary on October 14 at noon.  I believe it will be at Pioneer Square, but am not sure yet. 
Thanks,
Bro. Ken Paulsen
