Knights of St Columba
The New Evangelisation - A Call to Serve
Pope Francis in his New Year address said:
"We are all children of one heavenly father, we belong to the same human family and we share a common destiny. This brings a responsibility for each to work so that the world becomes a community of brothers who respect each other, accept each other in one's diversity, and takes care of one another."
The Knights of St Columba offer you that opportunity to be part of a fraternity dedicated to serving God by serving others by working in our communities and parishes, helping young people to grow in their faith and looking after those less fortunate than ourselves.
More Catholic men are invited to become more involved in the Lay Apostolate. If interested, please contact: Knights of St Columba, 75 Hillington Road South, Glasgow, G52 2AE. Tel: 0141 883 5700.

Petition Delivered to Nicola Sturgeon MSP
A petition signed by 1,000 people opposed to gay marriage has been presented to Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
Representatives from the Knights of St Columba handed it to the MSP for Glasgow Southside at her surgery.
More than 50,000 responses to the Scottish government's consultation on the issue are being considered.
The government has previously said it "tended towards the initial view" that same-sex marriage should be introduced.
This latest petition was organised in the Southside of Glasgow by the local Knights of St Columba Council.
They said they gathered the signatures from five local Catholic churches in Ms Sturgeon's constituency last weekend.
They presented them to the SNP deputy leader at her weekend surgery in Govan along with senior members of the local Muslim community, who also support the status quo in respect to the law on Marriage.
Provincial Secretary Brother Brian Henry said: "We don't see any reason for a change in the law. The Sanctity of Marriage is one of our sacraments within the Catholic Church and that is something that we, as a faith, hold very strongly to.
Under current legislation civil partnerships give same sex couples the same legal rights as married couples therefore we see no need to change the present legislation"
The MSP stated that she would give serious consideration to the views expressed by her constituents in the petition.
