KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS NEWS

PENTECOST GERANIUMS Last year the geraniums you brought for Pentecost helped make the gardens beautiful all summer. We are again requesting geraniums in “firey” colors to celebrate the day. They can be brought with you to the weekend masses and placed among the other flowers.

Many thanks, The Environment Commitee

The Knights held a meeting on April 19th with guest speaker Sarah Ashmore telling us about her 2 years of service with Net Ministries.

The next meeting will be held on May 17 with social time starting at 6 pm. The guest speaker will relate her experience living on the streets in Washington, DC. PRAY FOR THE UNBORN The Knights of Columbus has taken action to replace the original plaque in the Memorial to the Unborn on the West side of the convent at Immaculate Conception. The original after many years became non legible. It was replaced with a granite memorial. There will be a blessing ceremony on Thursday, May 17, during a meeting which will start at 6 pm. All parishioners are invited to attend. Please call 763.789.8362 if you plan to attend and join us for dinner.

Weeding & Clean Up Ministry

Outreach Ministry May is Respect Life Month. Following the Mother’s Day May 13th Baby Shower collection for Northside Pregnancy Options/Abria , the collection for that organization will continue until the end of May. A list of requested items is available in the Gathering Space collection crib and at church entrances. Also nonperishable food items for SACA are always needed and can be left in the Gathering Space blue collection barrel or dropped off at the Ad Center during the week. Respect Life-Action Steps The Catholic Church proclaims that all human life from conception to natural death is sacred and must be protected. What are some ways to put this key teaching into practice? Pray for an end to things that threaten and demean human life-abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, the death penalty, war, discrimination, economic injustice and poverty. Attend a pro-life march or a walk for peace. Donate to or volunteer with an organization that helps needy families and children. Volunteer at a nursing home or hospice. Advocate with lawmakers for public policies that support and protect all human life. Learn more by going to the US Conference of Catholic Bishops website at www.usccb.org/about/pro-life-activities. Families Moving Forward St. William will welcome Families Moving Forward guests the week of June 3rd and volunteers are needed for several tasks. If you can help, please sign-up in the Gathering Space after Mass. There will be someone there to answer questions.
