Our Community, Council 6772, Knights of Columbs Brooklyn Park Minnesota

I would like to use the words from Psalm 116 to thank all of you for pyraing for me as a made my final Redemptorist Vows, the vow of chastity, of obedience, and of poverty. "What can I offer the Lord for all his goodness to me?" (Ps 116:12)

Thank you so much for your love and support. Now I am fully Redemptorist but I have to learn how live as a Redemptorist. Please continue to pray for me so that I will become a holy Redemptorist.

My brother Knights & families,

As we celebrate our council 30^th birthday in February, I like to share with you a prayer for Fr. McGivney as our Knight of Columbus’s founder (1882) as an apostle to the young, a protector of Christian & family life. The founder’s day observe on March 29. Please sign up for Fr. McGivney’s Guild – it is free to brother Knights & family members. Members in the organization promote & continue to pray for the cause for canonization of Fr. McGivney.
