District Turnout: Vigil Service and Honor Guard Posting for Rev. SK John Rooney
November 15 @ 1:30 PM – 8:00 PM
With a heavy heart, I share the news of the passing of Rev. SK John Rooney, Pastor of St. Mary of the Expectation, in League City.
Father Rooney was a strong supporter of the Knights of Columbus and our 4th Degree.
I understand this is very short notice, but we have been blessed with the invitation to post as Honor Guard during his visitation service this Sunday, November 15th, from 2pm-7pm. We will post four (4) SKs at a time, so many hands will make light work. Please come pay your respects, stand in the Honor Guard for 1 or 2 shifts, and stay for the Vigil Service, if you are able.
Due to space limitations, the turnout for the Mass of Christian Burial will be limited to only the local Assembly 2772, led by FN Albert Priselac. The Knights have been asked to bring only 10 SKs to service in the Honor Guard for the mass.
To serve in the Honor Guard on Monday, November 16th, please contact Albert Priselac at (281) 733-7963, to obtain his permission.
However, since many of us know and love Fr. Rooney, you are not limited from attending the Funeral Mass. That will be subject to space availability in the church itself. They are expecting nearly 100 priests to concelebrate this mass.
Please share this notice with as many SKs as possible. Thank you.
