Worthy Sirs,

We have received a request for Honor Guards for the Annual Fatima Festival in Ludlow.  The letter is addressed to council members of all Knights; however, we are requested to come in uniform, not in council shirts.

The following is the request:

Gentlemen,

I’d like to share a quick review of the information for the Festa and the procession:

• • • • • Parking: There is no designated parking exclusively for the Knights. Limited parking may be available at Sts. Peter and Paul Parish on Newbury Street, or at the Senior Center on State Street (you may need to sign up or call ahead for availability). In addition, a free shuttle bus will run from the Ludlow High School parking lot from 2:00–11:00 p.m.
        • Schedule for Sunday, August 31, 2025:
          • 6:00 p.m. – Gathering
          • 6:30 p.m. – Outdoor bilingual Mass
          • Immediately following – Bilingual candlelight procession
        • Procession details:
          • Please wear your council shirts to represent your councils.
          • The processional walk will be for Knights exclusively. Spouses may participate in the side columns.
          • Upon arrival at the chapel, we will be positioned on the left side (as you face the chapel from below).
        • Rosary: If it becomes difficult to hear or follow the rosary during the procession—since it may at times be recited solely in Portuguese—I ask that one of our Knights be prepared to lead the rosary in English for our group. It should be spoken just loudly enough for the Knights to participate together.

I hope to see many of you there, as I’m sure both the Blessed Mother and Father McGivney will be pleased with our presence.

Please feel free to share this message with your council members who are planning to attend. If I’ve missed anything or if you have additional information to share, don’t hesitate to do so.

Thank you all,
With regards,
Tony Silva

DGK, Council 3535 Ludlow
