November is the month we pray for All Soul’s who have departed us the past year. Knights of Columbus have lost 4 Knights, the parish many more lost. 🙏May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God Rest In Peace 🙏 …. #allsoulsday #ofmconv #olcshrine #KofCcouncil1925 (at Basilica and National Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV0FZhZFqFX/?utm_medium=tumblr

12 years ago I was prostrate on that exact spot begging for the Franciscan saints to help me be a faithful priest. Now a few more gray hairs later, grateful for where God has brought me, I’m still begging!!! #called4more #paxetbonum #ofmconv #LittlePoverello #InstrumentsOfPeace #franciscans #LiveTheTAU (at Basilica and National Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVs-_S6ljs2/?utm_medium=tumblr
