Knights of Columbus

“I am the Resurrection and the Life:
whoever believes in Me, though he should die,
will come to life…”
(John 11:25-26)

As Catholics, we believe in the communion of saints, those on earth, and the souls in heaven and purgatory. The Supreme Chaplain of the Knights of Columbus, Bishop William Lori, reminds us that “The first way to show love for those who have died is not to presume that they have already reached heaven and then neglect to pray for them.”  Therefore, for our brother Knights who have gone before us in faith during the past fraternal year, we offer Holy Mass for the happy repose of their souls.

In remembrance of all our deceased brothers especially those who have departed our ranks this Fraternal Year:
Anthony Louis Cash
Cecilia Gorman
Judith Ann Lanni
John Joseph Nolan
Lewis J Ottaviani
Marie Petruzzi
Ivan Tucker

In compliance with the DC Mayor’s COVID-19 Pandemic Emergency Orders, this year’s Memorial Mass will be offered online only by Washington Council Chaplin, Msgr. James D. Watkins, Pastor of St. Ann’s Church.
