Bishop Dennis Sullivan celebrated the Opening Mass for the New Jersey Knights of Columbus Convention on May 17 at Saint Ann Church, Notre Dame de la Mer Parish, Wildwood.
“The Knights of Columbus feed the flock,” the Bishop preached in his homily. “The examples are numerous here in New Jersey … activities that support the culture of life in a society that celebrates death. The availability of ultrasound machines; pregnancy resource centers; after-pregnancy support for mothers and their infants; Coats for Kids; collection of foods; emergency disaster response in our country and outside of it.”
He also praised their generous support of vocations and seminarians, as well as the National Eucharistic Revival. “These activities of the Knights of Columbus demonstrate love for Jesus and love for others,” he said.
During the Mass, children from Wildwood Catholic Academy, wearing their First Holy Communion dresses and suits, crowned a statue of Mary. Afterward, many of the nearly 200 in attendance greeted Bishop Sullivan outside the church. The Knights then continued on to their weekend convention, which was May 17-18 in Wildwood.
