FAMILY PILLAR Family Prayer Night By: Ontario State Family Director, Bryan Noble PGN FDD,
As we slowly and cautiously leave the pandemic behind us, we will soon have opportunities to gather with our council brothers and their families. A great way to restart a council is to come together for a Family Prayer Night with council members, their families, and the whole parish community for an evening of prayer, dinner, and fellowship. As a Faith in Action Family program, it is particularly intended as an opportunity for ‘children to be exposed to regular people living their faith in a casual setting’. Please note that any gathering of council families, that opens and closes with a prayer, is a Family Prayer Night. Your Prayer Night activities may include a potluck supper, board games and cards, karaoke and dancing, ladies’ appreciation or awards night. Essentially, any event that brings council families together in a social atmosphere is a Family Prayer Night. Invite family, friends and potential members to show them the fun side of being a member of the Order. Extensive Family Prayer Night resources are available on the Supreme website.

A Family Prayer Night is a great way to bring council families back together, get reacquainted, and start a council on the road to re-establishing itself as a vibrant, strong, and important part of the parish community.
