The Arthur J Corr Assembly #3308 Knights of Columbus invites all parishioners, family and friends to a Veterans’ Day Mass and Services on Saturday, November 9. Prior to the official celebration of Veterans’ Day, Rev. Father/Chaplain Lieutenant Colonel Greg Caggianelli will offer a Mass of Remembrance to honor those who have served and continue to serve our nation
.
Immediately following the 9:30 a.m. Mass, Fr. Caggianelli will bless the life size statue of Christ embracing and welcoming a member of our armed forces “home” to His Kingdom. The statue, named “Lest We Forget” is located on a plot of ground directly in front of the church and it is a tribute to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
The Knights of Columbus requests that all veterans and active duty members of our armed forces and their spouses, as well as widows of loved ones who have served, regardless of their faith, to join them in paying tribute and offering prayers to our beloved veterans.
Special recognition will be given to our WW II warriors.
Joining the Knights will be members of the Harp and Thistle Pipe Band along with the United States Marine Corps League of Naples, who will post and present our colors, as well as rendering a rifle salute to our fallen heroes. WWII Veteran Sgt. Robert McDonald will play taps.
Complimentary refreshments will follow at the Parish Life Center.
