12.08.07 - Knights of Columbus called to be in front ranks of New Evangelization
Publish date:

Summary:
Knights of Columbus encouraged to play a key role in the New Evangelism.
As the world’s largest Catholic fraternal organization, the Knights of Columbus must play a prominent role in evangelizing the contemporary world, said Bishop Tod D. Brown of Orange, Calif.
“Certainly, there is a clear and demanding need today for the New Evangelization,” he stressed.
Bishop Brown delivered his homily at the Aug. 7 opening Mass of the 130th Supreme Convention of the Knights of Columbus in Anaheim, Calif.
The convention drew approximately 2,000 participants from across the country and around the world, including 12 cardinals and more than 70 bishops, archbishops and abbots.
Bishop Brown called to mind the message of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas.
Our Lady has a special significance to the Knights, who renewed their dedication to her during their meeting. The Knights also co-sponsored an Aug. 5 Guadalupe Celebration with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, which drew about 100,000 participants.
The bishop explained that Mary’s appearance to St. Juan Diego as a woman of mixed race led millions to turn towards Christianity.
“She embraces every culture, ethnic group, nationality and race,” he said, and her message is still important for us today.
