The Knights of Columbus World Day of Prayer for Peace seeks to unite Knights, Catholics and all people of good will – regardless of their religious faith – in prayer for peace.

While Sept. 11 will always be remembered for the tragic loss of life, Knights hope that this somber occasion will be the foundation of an annual opportunity for a day of earnest prayer for peace in the world.

To commemorate this tragedy with dignity and hope, the Supreme Council passed a resolution in 2004 to observe September 11 as a day of prayer for peace.

“The World Day of Prayer for Peace will bring to the world the Church’s message of peace and reconciliation, so that religion will always be a cause for mutual respect and harmony, and never for violence or hatred,” said Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson. 

Knight George Billings working with Council 10208 Church Director Tom Yerina and Pastor Monsignor Malone organized a program at Sacred Heart of Jesus for the knights and parishioners to actively participate in this day of prayer.  The 4th Degree Assembly will put up the flags around the church to help make this day special. 

This event will commence at 8:15 am in the church with a  special prayer for peace followed by the rosary.  Monsignor will celebrate a mass at 9:00.  Following mass there will be liquid refreshments and snacks in the lower level provided by the Ladies of the Sacred Heart.

Knights and their spouses together with all members of Sacred Heart are encouraged to participate.
