Family weekend
Fourth degree Knights process to the flagpole during a 2008 Memorial Day Mass at Queen of Heaven cemetery in Mesa.
The state’s Knights of Columbus councils will soon be consumed with its international conference to be held in Glendale next month. Before they fully get into “convention” mode, many Knights are taking a little family time this weekend.
St. Joseph’s Youth Camp, which the Knights sponsor and operate in Mormon Lake, is hosting a Fourth of July celebration weekend for council members and their family. The loosely structured weekend includes meals and lodging, hiking, rock climbing, music and fellowship.
Camp for the general public runs throughout July. Register now. New to the camp this year is the Fr. McGivney Trail. Fr. Michael J. McGivney, who founded the Knights of Columbus, took a step toward sainthood last spring.
St. Joseph Youth Camp hopes to line the Fr. McGivney trail with memorial bricks, especially around its distinct areas:
- flagpole which builds patriotism
- picnic area which builds Christian family life
- campfire hearth which builds apostleship, especially to the young
- stations of the cross which builds a life of prayer
For more information on the bricks or the camp, call (480) 449-0848.
