Brothers Peyton, Fabian, Evan, and Orlando had the privilege to attend the 60th annual Knights of Columbus College Councils Conference held in New Haven, Connecticut.

We thank the Lord for giving them this privilege and we also would like to thank and for making this conference possible!

Today we commemorate the Passion of St. John the Baptist, a fearless prophet who boldly proclaimed the truth and prepared the way for Christ. His unwavering faith led him to give his life rather than compromise what was right and holy.

As College Knights, we are called to carry that same courage — to stand firm in our convictions, to defend the faith, and to lead others closer to Christ through service, prayer, and fraternity.

‘He must increase, I must decrease.’ – John 3:30

St. John the Baptist, guide us to speak truth with love, to live with courage, and to remain steadfast in our mission to follow Christ. Inspire our hearts to decrease in self and increase in holiness, charity, and faith. Amen.

Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Augustine!

Known as one of the greatest theologians and philosophers of the Church, St. Augustine’s journey from a life of searching to one of deep faith reminds us of God’s endless mercy. His powerful words, “You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You,” challenge us to seek truth and find our ultimate purpose in Christ.

As College Knights, let us follow his example by pursuing holiness, embracing prayer, and standing firm in our mission to serve others and grow closer to God. May St. Augustine intercede for us today and always.

Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Monica, a shining example of perseverance in prayer and unwavering faith. Through years of patient intercession for her son, St. Augustine, she teaches us the power of hope and the strength of a mother’s love.

“Nothing is far from God.”– St. Monica

St. Monica, pray for us as we strive to live lives of faith and endurance on our college journey. 🙏🏼

Today, the Church celebrates the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary!
On this feast, we honor Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth, crowned by her Son for her unwavering ‘yes’ to God’s plan. Her humility, obedience, and faith opened the way for Christ’s saving work, and now she reigns as a loving Mother and powerful intercessor for us all.

May this feast inspire us to serve Christ with the same devotion, letting Him be King of our lives as we honor His Mother as our Queen.

‘Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope.’

“Holy Communion is the shortest and safest way to Heaven.” – St. Pius X

Today we honor Pope St. Pius X, known as the “Pope of the Eucharist” for encouraging frequent Communion and lowering the age for First Holy Communion. His love for the Blessed Sacrament reminds us to center our lives on Christ’s presence in the Eucharist.

May we, as College Knights, follow his example of Eucharistic devotion and live lives rooted in Christ. 🙏✨

“Let us not imagine that we can find our way to God by our own efforts alone. Without Mary, we cannot reach Jesus.” – St. Bernard

Today we celebrate St. Bernard of Clairvaux, Doctor of the Church and tireless servant of Christ. Known for his wisdom, humility, and devotion to Our Lady, he reminds us to place our trust in God’s mercy and love.

May we, as College Knights, follow his example of deep faith and devotion, drawing closer to Christ through prayer, service, and love for our Blessed Mother. 🙏
