Marian Prayer Service Color Guard

Sir Knights;

Combining the Order’s devotion to Mary and it’s efforts to protect and defend persecuted Christians in the Middle East and throughout the world, a featured Faith in Action activity is the Marian Prayer Program. Indiana has received two icons of Our Lady Help of Persecuted Christians which will make pilgrmages to every council in the state as the centerpiece of special prayer services at our parishes.

The very first Marian Prayer Service to Our Lady Help of Persecuted Christians will be conducted by Father John Hollowell at St. Paul the Apostle in Greencastle on Sunday, November 18. The prayer service will be at 1 pm.

Following the 11 am Mass, Council 6989 will host a lunch and the prayer service will begin at 1 pm.  The service will be approximately 45 minutes. An invitation will

also be issued to Archbishop Thompson inviting him to attend and State Deputy Paul Zielinski will attend.

We request an honor guard to process the icon into the prayer service. The icon is very impressive, gold framed and approximately four feet tall.  An invitation is also

issued to the members of the Assembly to fully participate in the prayer service. This is an oppoprtunity to witness to the faith and actions of our Order.

Thanking you for all your support. Please let us know if you are able to participatein this important event.

Vivat Jesus!
