FIRST SATURDAY ROSARY
Please join the Knights of Columbus in praying the First Saturday Rosary on April 4th at 4:30 pm in honor of our Blessed Mother, the Mother of God!
-
The Knights of Columbus again this year recently filled the lawn in front of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church with crosses to draw attention to the 4,000 babies that are aborted each day in this country. This has become an annual January tradition, coinciding with the anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade decision that legalized abortion. The sign placed in the cemetery serves as a symbolic headstone, sending a silent message from the unborn who were not given a choice to live.

Annual Day of the Unborn
-
The Knights of Columbus, once again, celebrated our annual Day of the Unborn on Saturday, March 23, 2019 at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church. The celebration began with a Mass for the Unborn at 8 AM with 4th degree Knights in full regalia serving as an Honor Guard.
Immediately before mass there was a presentation on the absolute need for everyone’s involvement in the pro-life movement if we wish to overcome the tremendous push by the pro-death crowd and end abortion once and for all. A beautiful mass was concelebrated by both Father James and a visiting missionary priest, Father Lewis, who gave a very dynamic homily on the tragedy of abortion.
After mass everyone processed to the Memorial Garden for testimonial presentations by our very own, Charlie Hafner and Lisa Mackey of the Cookeville Pregnancy Clinic (CPC). Their testimonials showed how God’s love for us is returned manyfold when we put our trust in Him, particularly in choosing life despite a fetus’ serious medical condition. Also presented was the tragedy that occurs after an abortion and the impact it has on entire families. The pain goes on forever and still tears of regret come forty years later. Following that it was asked if anyone else would like to share any experience they may have had regarding an up or down abortion decision. There were two people, Jim Dainty and Pat Saunders, who spoke of their own personal situations and, once again, the beauty of God’s love for us shined through their accountings of choosing life. After the testimonials Charlie and Patti Hafner led a hymn to our Blessed Lady. Following that a seven hour prayer vigil from 10 AM to 5 PM took place in the chapel praying for the lives of the unborn and the end of abortion. Fellowship time in the church basement took place with coffee and donuts provided by the knights.

Since 1882, membership in the Knights of Columbus has been open to men 18 years of age or older who are "practical" (that is, practicing) Catholics in union with the Holy See. Since that time, the Knights of Columbus has understood "practical catholic" to mean a Catholic who accepts the teaching authority of the Catholic Church on matters of faith and morals, aspires to live in accord with the precepts of the Catholic Church, and is in good standing in the Catholic Church.
(The Precepts of the Catholic Church are laws binding upon the Catholic faithful and are prescribed by the Catechism of the Catholic Church. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2041-2043)

To keep holy the Lord's Day by attending Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation and to rest from servile labor.

To contribute to the needs of the Church.)
Failure to answer truthfully to any of these declarations, or failure to remain a practical Catholic in union with the Holy See, renders void your membership in the Knights of Columbus.
