Then beginning in January on Tuesdays 6 pm to 7 pm we will add a special devotion to our weekly holy hour as follows (besides and special intentions):
1st Tuesdays:  People with Cancer and the Infirmed

Thank You From Knights of Columbus
The Knights of Columbus would like to thank you all for a very successful Kids Coat Drive.
With your wonderful generosity, we collected over 250 very nice coats that will benefit kids going
into this winter. In fact, we delivered these coats to Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity on
Tuesday, November 25th for their immediate distribution to needy children in Montgomery
County.
Again, your local Knights Council is proud to serve our faith community and the needs of our parishes.
