| 2007 PRAYER RALLY Albany, New York, April 24, 2007 |
| On Tuesday, April 24, 2007, Knights of Columbus members, families and friends from throughout New York State traveled to Albany to conduct their 5th Annual Prayer Rally. Led by State Deputy Anthony L. Preziosi, they gathered on the steps of the State Capital building to pray the rosary asking for fair, just, and unbiased legislation and to hear NYS legislators and K of C leaders urge Catholics to speak up for their rights. The speakers urge the Catholics to advise legislators of their views and to become more involved in the political process, especially with regard to such issues as life, school aid, Catholic health care, the conscience clause and rejection of gay marriage and domestic partnerships. In addition to the prayer and supportive remarks, many Knights or their designated representatives visited their state legislators. Prayer Rally Director Rick DiTrio, once again, organized the very successful event. |
