events.

On December 8th, the Council organized four hours of adoration before the
Blessed Sacrament at Our Lady of Guadalupe, as the Parish participated in
the National Night of Prayer for Life. Special prayers and the rosary were
said each hour of this event. Members of the parish and the public were
invited to participate in the event. The Knights organized and conducted the
Holy Hour adoration.

Members of our Council participated in the Memorial for the Unborn at the
Anchorage downtown cemetery in January of 2009. Members assisted with the
