SILVER ROSE PRAYER SERVICE - SEPTEMBER 1, 2023

Promoting a Culture of Life, Council 10240 held a Silver Rose Prayer Service for St. Luke Catholic Church on Friday, September 1^st at 6:30pm.

“Through the Silver Rose Program, we honor not only Our Lady of Guadalupe and express the unity of the Knights of Columbus, but we also reaffirm our dedication to the sanctity of human life. It is to the Blessed Mother that we turn in prayer as we work to end the Culture of Death that grips our society. As we think in terms of ‘One Life, One Rose,’ it is most appropriate that we turn to Our Lady of Guadalupe who made known her will through Juan Diego and the miracle of the roses.” – Past Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson

Special thanks to SK Joe Torres and Felix Yruegas for organizing the service. SEE PICS.

GLOBAL WHEELCHAIR MISSION

Click here to enlarge the poster. 

During the month of December, Council 10240 handed out two of our new wheelchairs purchased as part of the Global Wheelchair Mission. Thanks to BK Rafael Perez for leading this Faith in Action effort and for assembling and delivering the two wheelchairs.

Our first wheelchair recipient was a female parishioner of St. Luke. She requires an oxygen tank and tires easily just walking from room to room. Sadly, 40 years ago she was accidentally exposed to harmful pesticides that damaged her lungs. She and her husband were very happy to receive the new wheelchair.

Our second recipient was a male parishioner of St. Luke and a retired Vietnam Veteran whose wife saw our wheelchair and poster at the December taco sale. He was a translator during the war, and the couple met at St. Luke. He has back and leg issues and has not been able to get a wheelchair through Medicare or the VA. The couple was very grateful for the Knights of Columbus.
