Our Lady of Charity Prayer Program.
A new Marian Prayer Program in honor of Our Lady of Charity began Order-wide on
September 8th, the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This
program features an image of Our Lady of Charity, the patroness of Cuba.
Our Lady of Charity has special significance to the Knights of Columbus, given
the Order's first principle of Charity, which was also the theme of Pope
Benedict XVI’s first encyclical, Deus Caritas Est. Therefore, although the
Virgin of Charity has her origins in Cuba, devotion to her is altogether
appropriate for Knights of Columbus everywhere. As a sign of spiritual
solidarity with Pope Benedict XVI, the Holy Father and his intentions will be
remembered during each prayer service.
We at Sacred Heart Council will be displaying the Our Lady of Charity Icon and
holding a prayer service at 7:00 PM this Sunday evening, November 11th. The
service will be in the Columbian Room at Boswell Hall. Associate Chaplin Deacon
David Barnes will be presiding for the service. Everyone attending will receive
an Our Lady of Charity Holy Card to remember the occasion.

If you would like more information or would like to help set up or clean up,
please contact Joe Massimini at (240) 997-0402 or

We look forward to seeing all Brother Knights and their family at the prayer
service this Sunday evening.
