MURPHY — Members of Knights of Columbus Father James Wilmes Council 14087 and parishioners of St. William Church and Immaculate Heart of Mary Mission took part in a combined mission Aug. 3-7 led by guest retreat leader Father Kevin MacDonald.
The mission included Mass, reflection and prayer time, Eucharistic Adoration, the opportunity to receive the sacrament of confession, and talks by Father MacDonald on the theme “Speak Lord, Your Servant is Listening.”
Several parishioners commented on how wonderful it was to see the “Knights presence” for the retreat, and Knights distributed nearly 200 “A Guide to Confession” brochures during the course of the retreat and served as ushers and gathered the free-will offering for the event.
