Coverage of K of C Prayer Rally in Albany yesterday

Thanks to Ed Mechmann for sending this to us.

Catholics hold rally as gay-marriage debate continues

The Knights of Columbus is holding its annual prayer rally in Albany today. Hundreds of people are praying and asking lawmakers to support them in opposing same-sex marriage and the Reproductive Health Act, which would update New York’s abortion laws in the event of action on the federal level that limits or restricts abortion. The Knights of Columbus are also praying for the state to reimburse Catholic schools for 100 percent of the costs they incur in complying with state mandates, as required by a 37-year-old state law.

Knights of Columbus pro-life Mass a success

Organized for the Knights of Columbus Westchester-Putnam Conference, the Mass was held on Saturday morning, June 26, at Holy Name of Mary Church in Croton-on-Hudson. Approximately half the attendees were members of the parish, and half were K of C members and their families and other volunteers "in the field" for various life issues. K of C Council 4730 of Holy Name of Mary, Knights Richard Fuerst and Jim Moore were local organizers.

There was a Knights honor guard and Fr. Michael Keane, pastor of Holy Name, was the celebrant.

 

Coffee and refreshments were served after the Mass.

 

Kudos to Holy Name of Mary Council 4730 for organizing and hosting this Eucharistic celebration of life!

Reminder: K of C Pro-life Mass this Saturday morning, Croton, NY
