Welcome to the Council Home Page
For our brother knights who've gone on to their eternal reward -- we pray...
O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, grant to the souls of Thy servants departed the remission of their sins, that, through pious supplications, they may obtain the pardon which they have always desired. Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, world without end.
Amen.
