Deceased Members – Knights of St. John
St. Anthony of Padua Commandery #385
In life they worked in the name of the Lord for this parish …for their family for their community. They believed in the Brotherhood of the Knights of St. John and the sisterhood of their Auxiliary. These people gave of themselves to help others. They believed in the promise of a future life with Our Savior. Please Lord, that they rest safely in your arms.
Lets us not forget our
Brother Knights who have gone on to their Eternal Reward.
Let us say our Knights Prayer in their Honor
In thy strength, O Lord, the just man shall exult, and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly. Thou hast given him his heart’s desire. We beseech thee, O Lord that every thought, word and action which we offer in memory of the sufferings of Thy Holy Martyr, St. John the Baptist, may by his intercession profit us unto salvation, through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end, Amen.
