Novena For Peace and Healing in Ukraine

Last February, in anticipation of the second anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Knights of Columbus around the world united themselves in prayer and solidarity with over 3,000 Knights and their families living in Ukraine by praying a novena for peace and healing. Knights and others are once again invited to pray the novena this year, beginning Feb. 15.

2024.10.25. Supreme Master's Newsletter --
I am excited to share with you that the registration site is up and running for the Fourth Degree’s 125th Anniversary Celebration to be held on Saturday, February 22, 2025, at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City. Click HERE
for more information. Sir Knights and Knights from around the world are encouraged to attend this historic event. Just last week, I was at the cathedral to study plans for the exemplification, which will be the premiere of the Revised Patriotic Degree, which was formally adopted by the Supreme Board of Directors on October 11th in San Juan, Puerto Rico. More exciting is that for the first time, the degree will be open to family and friends to learn the great Catholic history of the United States and to see their loved one swear an oath to serve our nation as a devout Catholic and Sir Knight. With the completion of the United States degree, we now turn our focus to our international jurisdictions to begin revising and updating their patriotic degrees.
February 22nd will be an incredible day. In fact, it is the exact same date that the Fourth Degree was first exemplified in New York City in 1900. Joining us will be the Supreme Officers and Directors, as well as the Vice Supreme Masters. In 1900, they had a class of more than 1,000 candidates. Our goal is to come as close to that number as possible to increase enthusiasm and energy for the Fourth Degree as we begin our next 125 years!
So please make plans to attend the exemplification and the Anniversary Mass that will follow and will be concelebrated by our Worthy Supreme Chaplain Archbishop William E. Lori, and His Eminence Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York. A banquet will follow the Mass at the New York Hilton – Midtown Manhattan.

Mass on Sunday 8:30am, 10:30am (Spanish) ~~~ We are looking for some assistance for the Hispanic community. It would be following their mass, which starts at 10:30 and is over around 11:30. We can have a table set up. Thanks. ~~~ From: Richard Barnett Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2025 2:20 PM To: AGC Services Subject: Re: St Henry's Membership Drive   All, the Saint Henry's ministry fair will be February 23rd. There will be events after both masses but we could use a Spanish speaker(s), following the Spanish Mass at 11:30.
