QUINCY - The Quincy Council Knights of Columbus will host the Marian Hour of Prayer in honor of Our Lady of Charity for the intentions of Pope Benedict XVI at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 13, at St. Francis Solanus Church, 1721 College Ave.

"The Marian Prayer program with an image of Our Lady of Charity is a graced opportunity to reflect on the virtue of charity and to make more widely known the beautiful teaching of Deus Caritas Est, in which Pope Benedict XVI explores the true nature of charity, based on love of God and love of neighbor," according to K. of C. field agent Aaron Kuhn.

"The Knights of Columbus hopes that this Marian Prayer program will bring us all to a greater understanding of the virtue of charity and inspire us to carry Christ's love to the world around us.  We invite and strongly encourage everyone to attend," he said.
