Hello all! Quick updates and things to expect for our next meeting: As noted before, we have secured advertising in this month's Catholic Light publishing. An ad for our Golf Outing will be featured in it. Spots are still available, and you do not need to be a Knight to join! We just finished our 3rd week of football raffle tickets, with one more to go. Anyone wishing to help out on September 5th, please see the volunteer section at the top of this site, or reach out to mysel

From a letter attributed to Barnabas The way of light Consider now the way of light; any man who is bent on reaching his appointed goal must be very careful in all he does. Now these are the directions that have been given to us for this journey: love your Creator; reverence your Maker; give glory to him who redeemed you when you were dead; be single-minded but rich in spiritual treasure; avoid those who travel down death’s highway; hate whatever is displeasing to God; detest

August 2026 He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do.” (Gospel for Aug. 30, Mt 16:23) Who knows the mind of God? God is beyond human understanding, yet he has revealed himself to us most perfectly in the person of Jesus Christ. Through prayer we can come to know God more fully, and we grow in understanding of his plan when we make a habit of conforming our will to his holy will. We

Greetings all! We've submitted for an advertising spot in Catholic Light and after acceptance, it will be in the August issue. We have also submitted for signs to be made for our football raffle tickets, and they will be available for the remainder of this year's selling dates.

July 15: Saint Bonaventure, Bishop and Doctor—Memorial c. 1217–1274 Invoked against intestinal problems Canonized by Pope Sixtus IV on April 14, 1482 Proclaimed the Seraphic Doctor of the Church by Pope Sixtus V in 1588 Liturgical Color: White Quote:Christ is both the way and the door. Christ is the staircase and the vehicle, like the “throne of mercy over the Ark of the Covenant,” and “the mystery hidden from the ages.” A man should turn his full attention to this throne of

July 2026 “Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?” He answered, “The one who treated him with mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.” (Gospel for July 13, Lk 10:36-37) In the parable of the good Samaritan, we again witness the Lord’s call to put our faith into action. Neither the priest nor the Levite stopped to render aid to alleviate the injured man’s suffering. The true act of love came from an unexpected source: a Samaritan, a

If you have just come to the monastery, and in spite of your good will you cannot accomplish wha

Hello all! Just a reminder that this Sunday, June 7th, there will be a Eucharistic Procession following the 11:00 mass at STM. At our last meeting, a small amount of people signed up to help assist, so we're still looking for other members to help with the Procession! If you are planning on attending the mass and can stick around after, please do so! These events help spread adoration and love for Jesus in the most Holy Sacrament of the altar. The official KOFC site has a

June 2026 “[W]hoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.” (Gospel for June 28, Mt 10:38) Our fallen human condition involves a measure of suffering and trials. Our commitment as disciples of Jesus, Scripture tells us, necessarily means taking up our own crosses willingly. God will grant us the strength to endure all trials if we remain faithful, and our suffering can prove redemptive if we accept it and unite it to the passion of Christ. This d

Thanks to all who came out to our Mother's Day breakfast this last Sunday. We had well over 100 volunteer hours between prep / cooking / cleanup. We also served well over 100 people throughout the day! It was a long day for sure, but as the saying goes, "many hands make light work"!

[Jesus] said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” (Gospel for May 24, Jn 20:21) Jesus sends us into the world, just as the Father sent him. Jesus had a sacred, divine mission — to proclaim the Good News of salvation and build the kingdom of God — and we are commissioned to do likewise. As his faithful disciples, we continue his saving mission on earth, consistent with our state of life. We are not just “receivers” of the Gospel; our mi

Something strange is happening—there is a great silence on earth today, a great silence and stillness. The whole earth keeps silence because the King is asleep. The earth trembled and is still because God has fallen asleep in the flesh and he has raised up all who have slept ever since the world began. God has died in the flesh and hell trembles with fear. He has gone to search for our first parent, as for a lost sheep. Greatly desiring to visit those who live in darkness and
