Knights of Columbus council #12803, in support of St Elizabeth's parish in Lubbock, Texas. Thanks to the efforts of Father Michael J.

McGivney, assistant pastor of St. Mary’s Church in New Haven and some of his parishioners, the Connecticut state legislature on March 29, 1882, officially chartered the Knights of Columbus as a fraternal benefit society. The Order is still true to its founding principles of charity, unity and fraternity. The Knights was formed to render financial aid to members and their families. Mutual aid and assistance are offered to sick, disabled and needy members and their families. Social and intellectual fellowship is promoted among members and their families through educational, charitable, religious, social welfare, war relief and public relief works. The history of the Order shows how the foresight of Father Michael J. McGivney, whose cause for sainthood is being investigated by the Vatican, brought about what has become the world's foremost Catholic fraternal benefit society. The Order has helped families obtain economic security and stability through its life insurance, annuity and long-term care programs, and has contributed time and energy worldwide to service in communities. The Knights of Columbus has grown from several members in one council to more than 14,000 councils and 1.8 million members throughout the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Mexico, Poland, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Panama, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, Cuba, Guatemala, Guam and Saipan.

Thanks to Brothers Oscar, Ronny, Tracy and Jonel for going out to deliver Coats for Kids today.

Glad we could provide coats for Wilson ISD and O’Donnell ISD students/kids.

We did it! Under the leadership of our previous Grand Knight Juan Lara, we were able to achieve Star Council Award for 2025-2026
We look forward to making it happen again for 2026-2027 under Michael Redmond

So glorious to see something like this, maybe we should discuss with Father John how we do something like this at Saint Elizabeth’s.

Lets all please pray for Pope Leo

As Pope Leo XIV undergoes surgery today, we invite Catholics around the world to join the Knights of Columbus in praying for our Holy Father.

May God guide the hands of his medical team, grant him a successful surgery and a swift recovery, and strengthen him as he continues to shepherd the Church.

Blessed Michael McGivney, pray for him! Vivat Jesus!

Please be advised of our Parish expectations regarding children at Mass:

If your kids are loud, please still come to Mass.

If you’re running late because getting everyone dressed and out the door was a battle, please still come to Mass.

If your toddler won’t sit still, please still come to Mass.

If your baby needs to eat, please still come to Mass.

If your child asks questions at the least convenient moment, please still come to Mass.

If someone cries, drops a toy, or has to make their third trip to the bathroom, please still come to Mass.

If your child doesn’t know all the prayers, responses, or exactly when to sit, stand, and kneel, please still come to Mass.

If you feel like you spent the entire Mass managing your children and heard approximately 12% of the homily, please still come to Mass.

If Sunday morning feels messy instead of peaceful, please still come to Mass.

If you’re worried your children are distracting the people around you, please still come to Mass.

If your child has a disability or special needs, please still come to Mass.

Children do not learn how to be part of the Church by staying home until they can sit quietly. They learn by being here.

They learn the Sign of the Cross by watching us make it.

They learn the prayers by hearing us pray them.

They learn the Scriptures by hearing the Word of God proclaimed.

They learn reverence by watching us kneel.

They learn that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist by seeing the love and reverence with which we approach to receive Him.

They learn that the Church is their home because we make room for them here.

The wiggles, whispers, crying babies, and little voices are not signs that children don't belong at Mass. They are signs that the Church is alive.

So bring the babies. Bring the toddlers. Bring the big kids. Sit in the front so the littles can see. Step out when you need to… but always come back in.

At Baptism, these children became members of the Body of Christ. They belong here. They need the grace of the sacraments, the example of their parents, and the love and patience of their parish family.

Children are not simply the future of the Catholic Church. They are part of the Church right now!
