Here is a group picture of our Council Knights who participated and attended the Stations of the Cross on Friday, March 20, 2009 at 7:30 PM.
The Father Michael C. Kidd Knights of Columbus Council #14455 of Mitchellville, MD sponsored a SOUP AND STATIONS NIGHT at Holy Family Church. The evening began at 6:00 PM with a warm, delicious and filling soup in the parish hall. Approximately 40 parishioners enjoyed the home-made crab and zucchini bisque soup. Shrimp eggrolls were also offered. At 7:30 PM we assembled in the church for the Stations of the Cross. Our chaplain, Father Joseph Jenkins led us in a biblical way of the cross composed by the late Pope John Paul II. While one brother carried the cross from station to station, other Knights came up to the pulpit to read the appropriate passages from the New Testament. Our priest presided from the altar. The prayers were composed of three parts: leader (priest), reader (Knight) and the people (congregation). More than a hundred people attended Stations and just over 20 Knights were involved.
O great and glorious God, You imbued Your holy priest. Father Michael J. McGivney, with deep priestly virtue and especially with pastoral concern for the poor, the orphan, the widow, for the Christian education of youth, for the protection of the faith of the working man of his day.
Now that his priestly ministry continues to spread to countless millions throughout the world, through the efforts and influence of the Order of the Knights of Columbus, which Father McGivney founded, we beseech Your, Heavenly Father, to raise Your faithful servant, Michael, to the honors of the altar. We ask this favor through our Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Mother, Mary and our Mother, Amen.
