personal promises to those who, on five
consecutive First Saturdays, will confess their sins,
receive Holy Communion, say the Rosary and spend

mysteries of the Rosary, in reparation for the
offenses committed against Her Immaculate Heart:
"I will assist (be present) at the hour of your
death with all the grace necessary for
salvation..."

If

the Reno area, then please plan to attend the Living
Rosary services that are typically held over there at the

you attend these services, the most important thing is
that we get as many people as possible to join in prayer

Our
Commitment to You
by Supreme Knight Carl A.
Anderson
- 9/7/2007
 We do not invest in high-risk vehicles such
as derivatives and junk bonds, nor do we invest in the
types of structured transactions that are currently
causing such turmoil in the markets. We stay away from
them not because we don't understand them - but because
we do understand them - and the risk they entail.

Celebrating 125 years of Faith in Action.
The 125th anniversary of the realization of Father
McGivney’s dream is a cause for celebration. During
the week of Founder’s Day, we will begin a yearlong
commemoration of the 125th anniversary of the Knights of
Columbus. As we celebrate the legacy of Father
McGivney, and the contributions of our brother Knights
since 1882, we also prepare for an even greater future as
we live out the vision of our founder. 
Since the founding of our Order 125 years ago
by a parish priest, Father Michael J. McGivney,
the Knights of Columbus has maintained
a strong and close relationship to our priests.
