Food for Families Drive
The Knights are again accepting donations for the annual fall Thanksgiving food drive, running from October 1-31. As was the case last year, due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, the Knights are asking for donations by way of gift cards ($20 or $50 values) to allow recipients to purchase their own groceries/supplies as needed as opposed to the usual gift of non-perishable food items which require handling, etc. This year we anticipate the need for assistance will only grow with the upcoming removal of various governmental financial supports while the pandemic is now well into its 4th phase. We truly count on your generosity and support of this program to bring relief required by so many among us. Please drop off your gift cards at the parish office or place them in the collection baskets if you are attending live mass.

The Year of St. Joseph
To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the proclamation of St. Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church, Pope Francis announced that the Church would celebrate a special year dedicated to St. Joseph beginning on December 8, 2020 and continuing through December 8, 2021.
Consecration prayer by Pope Francis, promulgated for the Year of St. Joseph:Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To you God entrusted his only Son; in you Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man.
Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself a father and guide us in the path of life. Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage, and defend us from every evil. Amen.
