On this page you will find the scripture readings for each day, a calendar to celebrate the many saints of the Church, our Council's prayer list and general information on our Catholic faith.
We are Catholic gentlemen who continue to grow in their faith and service to the Church. When men are accepted into the Knights of Columbus they receive a Rosary to carry with them through the remainder of their lives.
We encourage members to pray the Rosary, to volunteer as Lectures, Sacristans, Extraordinary Ministers of the Holy Eucharist, and Ushers. Attending daily Mass and participating in Adoration are other liturgical activities in which members should become involved.

Open our ears to hear God’s word and to recognize his voice and call.
Awaken in us a desire to follow in his footsteps, to go forth from our own land and to receive his promise.
Help us to be touched by his love, that we may touch him in faith.
Help us to entrust ourselves fully to him and to believe in his love, especially at times of trial, beneath the shadow of the cross, when our faith is called to mature.
Sow in our faith the joy of the Risen One.
Remind us that those who believe are never alone.
Teach us to see all things with the eyes of Jesus, that he may be light for our path. And may this light of faith always increase in us, until the dawn of that undying day which is Christ himself, your Son, our Lord!
God, our Father, protector of the poor and defenderof the widow and orphan, you called your priest, Blessed Michael McGivney, to be an apostle of Christian family life and to lead the young to the generous service of their neighbor. Through the example of his life and virtue, may we follow your Son, Jesus Christ, more closely, fulfilling his commandment of charity and building up his Body which is the Church. Let the inspiration of your servant prompt us to greater confidence in your love so that we may continue his work of caring for the needy and the outcast. We humbly ask that you glorify Blessed Michael McGivney on earth according to the design of your holy will. Through his intercession, grant the favor I now present (here make your request).Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
