Adore the Lord - Protect the Eucharist

As you may be aware. there have been threats of Vandalism and arson being aimed at Catholic Churches, especially in the Houston area following the leak of the supreme court documents that will overturn Roe vs. Wade.

One church in the Katy area has already been attacked and their Tabernacle stolen.

Father Joseph is concerned that the chapel is vulnerable on Thursdays during Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Often As leaders in our parish, Father Joseph is asking your help to protect the Eucharist by being present at adoration to help deter problems

Please take as much time as you can spare to be present at the chapel tomorrow after Mass until 7:00 PM.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and help.

Please pray for all who support life.

God bless you and your family.

Support Council Growth

“Our Council 7445 is in the process of forming our own Exemplification Team. The Degree Exemplifications have gone through some major changes over the past several years and the 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd Degrees are all received at one Exemplification. There are 6 members of the Exemplification Team that perform the Exemplification. The New Exemplification takes 30-40 minutes. Family members, guests, and current Knights are invited/encouraged to attend the New Exemplification.

Our goal is to have 10-12 Knights on the Exemplification Team so we can have some regulars as well as substitutes/alternates that can fill in when needed. All roles are reading parts, so there is no need to memorize anything. If you are interested in joining the Exemplification Team or learning more about the New Exemplification, please contact Brother Marty Gibula at 713-823-9182 or attend an information and practice meeting this Saturday, April 30^th, 9:00 – 10:00am in the Mary & Martha Room of the Apartment Building.

It is time to get active again, become more visible, and increase Our Council’s membership.”
