November 11 is Veterans Day, and this year, it also marks the 100th anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended World War I. To commemorate the occasion, the Knights of Columbus (K of C) and the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, (AMS), will hold a ceremony including the celebration of Holy Mass. The commemoration will take place on Nov. 11, 2018 at the Saint John Paul II National Shrine, 3900 Harewood Road NE in Washington, D.C. The ceremony starts at 10:30 a.m. followed by Mass at 11:00 a.m. Archbishop William E. Lori of Baltimore, the K of C's Supreme Chaplain, will be the principal celebrant. His Excellency, the Most Reverend Timothy P. Brolgio, Archbishop for the Military Services, will preach the homily. The start time for the Mass falls at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month--the same time in Paris that the armistice was signed by the allies and Germany ending "the war to end all wars" in 1918.
