At Fatima Our Lady made the following personal  promises to those who, on five consecutive First Saturdays, will confess their sins, receive Holy Communion, say the Rosary and spend fifteen minutes with Her in meditation upon the 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..."

Living Rosary services
Fallon, & Reno

Council 4828 in Fallon sponsors Living Rosary Prayer Services on the 1st Saturdays of each month at 9:00 a.m. and on the 3rd Wednesdays of each month, typically at 7:00 p.m., just before their regular business meeting.  Everyone is invited.

If you live closer to Reno, or are going to be in the Reno area, then please plan to attend the Living Rosary services that are typically held over there at the same time (across from the abortion center near Meadow-wood Mall.)  It doesn't matter where you attend these services, the most important thing is that we get as many people as possible to join in prayer for an end to abortion and for the protection of life at all stages, so please help spread the word about both the Reno and Fallon services to all of our fellow Br. Knights and to our fellow parishioners.

The Knights of Columbus... 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.
