ICON of the Holy Family

Our District 102 will be receiving the travelling ICON of the Holy Family on December 31, 2017 to January 28, 2018

Joseph Remedios PGK, District Deputy 102, has scheduled for our Council to receive the ICON at our Church for the following time:

ST Francis Xavier:               December 31, 2017 - January 05, 2018
Credit Valley Council:           January 5, 2018     - January 10, 2018
ST Faustina Council:            January 10,2018     - January 16, 2018
Our Lady of Mount Carmel:  January 16, 2018    - January 22, 2018
ST Josephine Bakhita:         January 22, 2018     - January 28, 2018

My request to each of you is that a rosary should be planned for each day the ICON is in our Church and that we recite the prayer that is travelling with the ICON, we have to promote this in the Council and  have every day a different Brother & his Family  lead the Rosary and prayer.

Brothers yes, this is a very busy time of year, however we can definitely sacrifice some time to pray together and prove the Principles of our Founder.

Thank you and God Bless,

Regards
Vivat Jesus
