Harvard Knights in Action

Recently, the Harvard Knights made a trek to help a fellow parishioner get her car out of the record-setting Boston snow. This is but one example of brothers caught in a moment of genuine Christian Charity, the first and central Degree of our Order.

Catholic News Agency: "A Catholic apostolate is trying to help those caught in the grips of pornography addiction" [Source]. The apostolate, called Serenellians, is web-based and began in 2002 by Paul Rasvage, an oil refinery engineer, family man and a reformed pornography addict. The group derives its name from Alessandro Serenelli, who killed St. Maria Goretti in a fit of lust and later repented. The link to the Serenellians is here.

Cambridge Rehabilitation & Nursing Center

The Harvard Knights' outreach to Cambridge Rehabilitation & Nursing Center (formerly Vernon Hall Nursing Home) includes two main activities:

First, on Wednesday mornings, from 8-9am, the Knights assist with upkeep of the facilities, undertaking painting projects, maintenance, clean-up of the grounds, and even putting up Christmas decorations:

From 6-7pm on Thursday evenings of the semester, Knights visit with the residents of Vernon. The regularity of these visits allow us to form friendships with those residents.
