Knights of Columbus Traveling Image of the Holy Family at St. Patrick

“The future of the world and of the Church passes through the family,” observed St. John Paul II, whom Pope Francis called “the Pope of the Family.” Recognizing the vital role of families in the world, the Knights of Columbus has dedicated its 17th Orderwide prayer program to the Holy Family, with the intention of strengthening Catholic families and their prayer lives.

The images were blessed by Pope Francis on June 29, 2015, the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul, through the auspices of the Almoner of His Holiness, Archbishop Konrad Krajewski. Under the guidance of the state deputies, these framed images are currently on pilgrimage from council to council throughout each jurisdiction.

The North Jacksonville Council 5407 Knights of Columbus is honored to host the image of the Holy Family from August 25 to September 1 THERE WILL BE A SPECIAL PRAYER SERVICE DURING THE TUESDAY NIGHT HOLY HOUR ON AUGUST 29 @ 6:00 PM COME AND JOIN US IN PRAYING FOR FAMILIES!! ______

Coming soon! On line giving for those who wish to make their tithes to our parish electronically, rather than using the collection basket/envelopes. The envelopes, by the way, cost the parish approximately $400 every time a new set is sent to your household.
