Knights of Columbus
John Clare Council #15485

A recent video from Fr. Mark Goring, CC on Youtube was his Holy Family Sunday homily- on the tendency of the pharmaceutical industry to taint their research with fetal tissue. This led to the link to campaign of Children of God For Life , a Catholic organization currently asking for signatures on their campaign to end the use of aborted children in research.

We must plan on starting our next fraternal year, with some sort of Council Picnic that we invite everybody in both parishes to. August 13 is the feast day of Blessed Father Michael J. McGivney. This year, this falls on a Saturday.

The Archdiocese of Portland & Diocese of Baker with the help from the Knights of Columbus Councils As part of the Eucharistic Revival called for by the U.S. Bishops, Archbishop Alexander K. Sample, Bishop Liam Cary, and the Oregon Knights of Columbus are asking that every Catholic Church in Oregon try to hold an Hour of Eucharistic Adoration. The State Council is asking every local council in Oregon to support and assist with publicity and scheduling for this event, and for the membership to fully participate. The primary focus of the event is for divine guidance for the Synodal process called for by Pope Francis. We also pray for a deeper understanding of the dignity and sacredness of human life from conception to natural death and for a renewed spirit and light for all parishes and parishioners in the Portland and Baker Dioceses. My brothers,  I believe we can organize this.
