Council Announcements

Knight’s Prayer

Our Lady, Queen of the Knights, bless all the activities of our Order. Keep us true to our pledge, to extend the kingship of thy divine son on earth. Through Thine intercession, win for us the grace, ever to exemplify in our public and private lives, the virtues that should characterize those especially dedicated to the service of the heavenly court. Make us always aware that as your Knights, we are constantly observed, our faith judged, and our Order appreciated. Accept, O Mary, this renewed pledge of fealty and devotion, of Thy Servants, the Knights of Columbus.

Council 9748 Coats for Kids Recognition

COATS FOR KIDS ACROSS BORDERS

Deputy Grand Knight Rodrigo Sandoval, a member of San Francisco de Asis Council 17128 in Nochistlán, Mexico West, distributes coats donated by St. Frances Cabrini Council 9748 in Granbury, Texas, through the Coats for Kids program. In addition to donating nearly 200 coats to people in Granbury, Council 9748 was asked by Father Fernando Preciado, pastor of St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church, to support San Francisco de Asis Parish, his childhood church in Nochistlán. The Texas Knights sent $2,000 to Council 17128 to purchase more than 70 coats and blankets, which the Knights in Nochistlán distributed in the parish.

Brothers: As you are aware, our council’s steering committee for this initiative presented its recommendations to the Council membership during its March meeting.  The membership agreed to proceed in this worthy effort to assist a Brother in need. Included in this initiative are several specific recommended forms of assistance that may feasibly be offered to assist a Brother Knight in time of need.  These approved recommendations include, among others: 

  1. Assistance to a brother in need of transportation to Mass or to a council meeting;
  2. Inclusion of a brother's name in our prayer list on the council web site;
  3. Offering where needed one of our two wheel chairs which are available to any Brother Knight and/or member of the parish;
  4. Arranging for the meals on wheels service upon request.

The fundamental precept for this program is that we are a Brotherhood and we are available to assist our Brother Knights in need.
