Fr Thomas is out of town this week so will not be able to attend.  We'll get him at another time.  Since this is an open meeting, please feel free to invite family or friends interested in the Knights.

 September 12/13 - Council BBQ Prep and Cook Head Cook Brother SK Raul Martinez is back in a limited capacity after his rotator cup surgery in June.  Your assistance on the cook team is appreciated.   Cook was moved to the 13th due to Monday Sep 7 being Labor Day.

Eucharistic Adoration 
Sacred Heart Chapel
           
Please take time to visit with our Lord in Adoration between the hours of 3:00PM and 10:00PM on Wednesdays in the Chapel.   The adoration will start at 3:00PM with the Devine Mercy Chaplet.  All are invited and any time spent will offer graces and blessings for you, your family, Sacred Heart Church, and the Holy Catholic Church.
  
Please consider committing to a specific time slot every week.  There are forms at the back of the Church and  Chapel to sign up.  A committed time is not a requirement to attend Eucharistic Adoration.
 
VA HOSPITAL VISITATION 

Future 2015-2016 dates that our Council is scheduled are: August 30th, October 4th, November 1st, February 7th, April 3rd, June 19th. These dates may change as we have quite a few conflicts with our 2015-2016 Calendar.

 

Half a day to show your support of men who gave part of their lives to protect our freedoms is a small price to pay.  We will leave Sacred Heart at about 7-7:15AM to car pool to the Veterans Hospital in the Houston Medical Center and should be back in the Sacred Heart parking lot by 12:00noon 

 

Make room on your calendar for some or all of these dates on your calendar.   Our Veterans deserve you to give back to them for the service to us and our country.

Pro Life Activities

Sat- Oct 17th - 6:30AM - 3:30PM - 40 Days for Life Prayer Vigil at Gulfcoast Planned Parenthood  - Last year we had over 25 Sacred Heart parishioners and Brother Knights with their families attend and we would like to more than double that this year, but it takes your participation to make this happen.  You do not need to participate in the entire 9 hours - but an hour or 2 would be greatly appreciated.  There will be time slot signup in the future.  Start planning NOW to support. 

Pro-Life Ace Wings - Viewing the movie "Blood Money" (80 minutes) will serve as three of the five event requirements. This is a very informative documentary involving women having had abortions and others previously involved in the abortion industry who are now Pro-Life.
