Day of Reflection hosted by the Emory Council

The brothers of Council 16078 located in Emory Texas wanted to get the new fraternal year off to a great start with an event focused on building their faith. This they did by organizing and hosting a Retreat for Men. Attendees included knights from neighboring councils as well as parishioners from nearby parishes. The all-day event started with breakfast for all attendees and the then proceeded to a day of prayers, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, confessions, and presentations from distinguished members of the Tyler Diocese clergy, and religious experts. Presentations were given by Fr. Braun, Fr. Bailey, Fr. Ledesma, and Dr. Norton. The day’s events culminated with the celebration of Holy Mass. The day of reflection was a great success and a very meaningful experience for all attendees.
