May the God of all comfort grant your family peace at this time. (1 Cor. 1:3,4)

Dear Eleanor,
On behalf of all Ted’s brother Knights in the Fr. Rizer council, we offer up our prayers, rosaries, and indulgences for the repose of Theodore’s soul and ask our Blessed Mother’s intersession that her Son bring comfort to you and your family during this time of sorrow. Ted was a dedicated Knight of Columbus since 1961 and is fondly remembered for his fund raising efforts during our annual Yard Sale, where the funds went to help the poor and disadvantaged and other corporal works of mercy. Ted will be remembered at a Mass daily in the Knights of Columbus Chapel (St Mary’s Church) in Supreme Headquarters in New Haven Connecticut. He will also be remembered in a Memorial Mass for deceased Knights of Fr Riser Council this first Saturday in November at the 9am Mass at St Bede and every year thereafter. May our sweet Blessed Mother comfort you all now and at the hour of your deaths also.
Vivat Jesus
