Worthy Brothers, once again, we are asked to work as traffic safety guides for the Corpus Christi procession of the Blessed Sacrament. Please consider joining your fellow brothers in assuring the safety of our parishioners as they walk around Santa Sophia and along Campo Rd.
Please meet at the kiosk just before the end of the 11am Mass(10 minutes early)to obtain a vests, and be positioned where needed. If you have a vest, or bright clothing, then please bring it since many vests gone missing over the years.
​A flashlight would be helpful,too.

We need at least 10 knights to assist with traffic control to keep our parishioner safe as the progression moves across streets and drive ways.

Practical Catholic Guidelines

Guidelines have been established to assist in determining the practical Catholicity of an applicant or member. These guidelines will assist the grand knight in performing his duties when serving on the council’s admission committee.
​​These guidelines include:
  • A practical Catholic accepts the teaching authority of the Catholic Church on matters of faith and morals, aspires to live in accordance with the precepts of the Catholic Church, and is in good standing with the Catholic Church.
  • A practical Catholic strives to have a greater knowledge of the teaching of Christ and his Church, and to accept, respect and defend the Church’s authority (vested in the Supreme Pontiff, the hierarchy and clergy united with him) to teach, govern and sanctify the faithful.
  • A practical Catholic gives material and moral support to the Church and her works on all levels, promoting the programs of the parish and diocese and coming to the aid of the missions, the needy and the underprivileged; supports and advances the just causes of minority groups; endeavors to eliminate unjust discrimination, prejudice, etc.; and supports the Church in her defense of marriage and family life.​
