Message from Knights of Columbus:
Our monthly Knights of Columbus Family Rosary is this Saturday, July 6th. We invite you, your families and neighbors to join us at
9:00 am in the main Church. We look forward to seeing you there.
Following the monthly Family Rosary for Life in the main church at Christ the Redeemer, we will pray together the Prayer of Consecration to the Holy Family.
This is not a one time event and requires more than just reciting a prayer. It requires a commitment to place God first in our families and allow the Holy Family to guide and strengthen families and for families to witness to living out "family" in a new and better way, to witness to the world how strong, loving, faith-filled families can make the world a better place.
Four suggested steps before praying the Consecration to the Holy Family
- Discuss the importance of the consecration as a family and why you are doing it.
- Each member of the family is strongly encouraged to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
- As a family, intentionally choose something to fast from. The fast should be at least a week. As our physical bodies are drawn to things of the world, it is strongly encourages that you fast from something that you normally do or consume. Fasting disciplines the mind and heart to refrain from secular activities and be more focused on God.
- Prepare for the commitment you are making. Consecration to the Holy Family is not a one time event. You have chosen a way of life for your family. You and your family are consciously choosing to be a beacon of light of God's love through his church.
PLAN NOW TO JOIN US ON JULY 6th, 2019 FOR THE ROSARY AT 9:00 AM IN THE MAIN CHURCH AND TO PRAY AND DEDICATE YOUR FAMILY TO THE HOLY FAMILY.We look forward to seeing you there.
