Prayer List

One of the important things we do as Knights and as Christians, is to pray for each other when we have special needs. Please check this PRAYER PAGE regularly to find out about the current prayer needs of our brother Knights and their families.

If you would like to submit a prayer request please send an email to Grand Knight Len Grus or to Chancellor Joe Belzile.

Your prayer request will be sent to the Yahoo Mailing List and posted on this web site. It would then be good if you would later post an "update" for those who are praying for your intention.
