Tonight, before Stations of the Cross, our parish Knights of the Holy Temple group was formally initiated into the Fraternity. You've probably already seen them serving at Masses. The Knights of the Holy Temple is a group specifically for young, high school age men. The purpose of the group is to provide young men an opportunity to contribute to the life of the parish in a meaningful manner. In addition, the Knights afford young men the opportunity to delve more deeply into Truths of the Christian Faith and attend to their own spiritual formation.
Their formation includes:
- A deep reverence and devotion to Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament and service to the poor;
- A profound commitment to protecting and fostering the Culture of Life;
- An environment for leadership development, Christian fellowship, and prayer support;
- Vocational discernment for the priesthood, consecrated life, or married life;
- Encouragement to properly live the faith both privately and publicly.
There are 8 Knights chapters in various parts of Indiana, one in Lewistown, PA, and now one here in Waynesboro.
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteLooking at these young men gives me great hope in the future of our parish and of course the universal Church. Whatever their call is, I can see in them future religious vocations, or future married men who will raise wonderful Catholic familes.
Thank you Father for your great work and example in leading our youth!!!!
