Mother Teresa: No Greater Love
Mother Teresa of Calcutta is one of the most widely revered saints in the world, and one of the greatest spiritual giants of the 20th century. She is a powerful witness of authentic Christian charity and a guidepost for all who seek hope in our turbulent times. Mother Teresa: No Greater Love is a unique film that reveals not just who Mother Teresa was, but how her singular vision to serve Christ through the poor is realized to this day, through the religious order she founded, the Missionaries of Charity.
The Knights will show this film in the Parish Center at 7pm on Tuesday April 25.
Light snacks will be served
See Knights of Columbus Website for more information on the film

In a decree from the Vatican that was read at the Mass, Pope Francis credited now-Blessed Michael McGivney for his “zeal for the proclamation of the Gospel and generous concern for his brothers and sisters” that “made him an outstanding witness of Christian solidarity and fraternal assistance.”
Prayer for the Canonization of Blessed Michael McGivney Founder of the Knights of Columbus
God, our Father, protector of the poor and defender of the widow and orphan, you called your priest,Blessed Michael McGivney, to be an apostle of Christian family life and to lead the young to the generous service of their neighbor. Through the example of his life and virtue, may we follow your Son,Jesus Christ, more closely, fulfilling his commandment of charity and building up his Body which is the Church. Let the inspiration of your servant prompt us to greater confidence in your love so that we may continue his work of caring for the needy and the outcast. We humbly ask that you glorify Blessed Michael McGivney through Christ our Lord. Amen
A brotherhood bound by the promises of Charity, Unity, and Fraternity
