Please take time to read Father John Paul’s message below and in the Saint Gertrude Bulletin this weekend. It is an inspiration for all, especially us Knights.
Father speaks about his recent trip to the annual Knights of Columbus Supreme Convention, which was held in Quebec City this year. And he also has some exciting news about a special family coming to and speaking at St. Gertrude’s on September 15. The family is the Schachle family whose son Mikey was miraculously healed through the intercession of Blessed Father McGivney.
Vivat Jesus!
I have recently returned from a week in Quebec City, Canada, which was this year’s location for the Supreme Convention of the Knights of Columbus, the 142nd Supreme Convention since Blessed Father Michael McGivney founded the Knights in 1882. This was my seventh convention and, as with the others, I left the week inspired by what I had seen and heard and more certain than ever that the Knights have a critical role to play in the revival of faith and family life in our Church and our world.
In this Sunday’s bulletin letter, I share some of the highlights of what the Knights have done this past year—the impact is phenomenal!
God bless,
Father John Paul Walker, O.P., Pastor
PS. I have some very exciting news to share. At 7:30 p.m. on the evening of September 15, a very special family will be speaking at our parish. More details are in my bulletin letter:
