Knights Movie Night

The Knights of Columbus "Movie Night" program presents a free screening of The Mayo Clinic on Saturday, October 10 from 6:30 to 9:00pm in the Parish Hall.

In August 1883, in the aftermath of one of the worst tornadoes in Midwest history, an agnostic country doctor and the leader of a Catholic teaching order created a partnership that would one day be considered the greatest medical institution in the world—a place for hope when there was no hope. Mother Alfred Moes and William Worrall Mayo may have not shared religious beliefs, but they were both visionaries … and fiercely devoted to caring for the sick.

Follow the growth from its first days to the world-renowned institution it's become. 

In its first 150 years, Mayo has made many of the most significant breakthroughs in medicine — including real-time frozen-section tumor analysis, the discovery of cortisone, and the first series of successful surgeries using a heart-lung bypass machine. Today, Mayo researchers are involved in thousands of studies and clinical trials to accelerate the pace of stem cell, gene-based, and other individualized therapies.

In 1986, the Clinic, St. Mary’s Hospital, and the affiliated Rochester Methodist Hospital merged as an integrated center of medicine with total assets of $1 billion. It has since created medical centers in Jacksonville, Florida and Scottsdale, Arizona, a regional healthcare system, a medical school, and a worldwide network of like-minded hospitals — all dedicated putting into practice W.W. Mayo’s belief that the needs of the patient must always come first.
