Movie Night

The Social Ministry will again show movies at Sacred Heart Church during Lent

The remaining movies are:

    March 15th- Marty (Holy Rosary)

    March 22nd - Road to Perdition (Knights of Columbus)

Just to give you a head's up on Road to Perdition, it is rated R for violence and language but it's a really, really good movie.  It stars Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, Jude Law and Daniel Craig.

    March 29th -  Secondhand Lions (Holy Name)

    April 5th -  A John Wayne movie (St. Anne/St. Francis Cabrini)

We will sponsoring the March 22nd movie night, all Knights are welcome to attend - my understanding is that is no work to be done.  Of course you can attend any one and food and refreshments are supplied or you can bring your own snacks.

Luminaria - All Souls Day

The Knights of Columbus - Solidarity Council 55, braved the wind and the rain to successfully light lumnaria at Sacred Heart, St Francis, St Mary and St Peter Churches on Saturday Night, November 2.

St Francis Church

The Set up went well but around 6:15 the wind picked up and a light rain came down making keeping the candles lit and keeping the bags from catching on fire.  Around 6:30 the skies cleared, the wind died down and calm was restored.  The candles burned until about 7:30 and many parishioners came to see the memorials.

Luminaria Memorials

Thanks to all Knights all the Knights who worked that night and a special thanks to Knight Frank Chawaniec who planned the event.  This fourth year was our most successful with over 400 on display at the four churches.
