from 4:30 pm 'til 8:00 pm

Host Council:  St. Martin de Porres Council #17304


On Saturday, August 12th, we, the Knights of Columbus Council #17304, warmly welcome all our brothers and their families to join us for a special event. At 5:00 PM, we'll be gathering at Saint Martin de Porres for our Corporate Communion Mass. We extend this invitation to any prospective member and their family to join us in our spirit of fraternity.

Before the Mass begins, we'll come together to pray a rosary for life, seeking blessings and guidance for all. During the Mass, we'll be united with our families and friends, sharing the Eucharist as one cohesive community. It's a significant moment for us, as Council members, to serve in various liturgical roles during the Mass.

After the uplifting Mass, we'll have the honor of welcoming new Knights and their families into our esteemed order through an Exemplification ceremony. This special occasion marks a milestone for those who choose to become part of our brotherhood.

To celebrate this joyous day, we'll conclude the evening with a delightful family potluck. It's a wonderful chance for all of us to bond and strengthen our unity, reflecting the values of Charity, Unity, and Fraternity that define the Knights of Columbus. 

The Corporate Communion Mass is an exceptional opportunity for our Council to come together and receive the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist as a unified body in Christ. We look forward to sharing this meaningful experience with all of our members and their loved ones, as we continue our mission, rejuvenated in the spirit of Christ's teachings.

This special event is to commemorate our founder Blessed Michael McGivney and to gather in prayer for the advancement of his progress to sainthood. Blessed Michael McGivney, the visionary behind the Knights of Columbus, dedicated his life to serving others and exemplified the core principles of our order. As we come together for the Corporate Communion Mass, we remember his inspiring legacy and seek his intercession in our lives.
