Brother Knights, October 31 : A day that will make K of C history In less than two weeks, Father McGivney will be beatified. Your prayers and work are making a difference in this historic moment for the Knights of Columbus as we move toward the blessed day of Father J. McGivney’s beatification. Thank you for all you are doing.  Here are some points to keep in mind going forward: Prior to the event, join the K of C in praying a novena in his honor, starting this Thursday, Oct. 22 . Novena Details You can also sign up to receive an email on each of the nine days of the novena. Email Details Father McGivney will be beatified on Oct. 31, 2020 , at Hartford’s Cathedral of St. Joseph. Due to Connecticut’s current COVID restrictions on indoor gatherings, very few from outside of Connecticut will be able to attend. Good news is that the Beatification Mass will be broadcast live on EWTN and other Catholic networks. So anyone who wishes to view the Mass will be able to do so. Encourage all...

The Church dedicates each month of the year to a certain devotion. The month of October is dedicated to the holy Rosary.  Our council sponsors a Holy Hour on the 1st Tuesday of each month at St John Fisher church with Eucharistic Adoration and including a pro-life rosary.  Following is an excerpt from today’s bulletin.   Please plan to join us on Tuesday evening.
