Grand Knight’s Report — February 2026

Featured

Worthy Brothers,

Let me remind you that Lent is a time of Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving. Almsgiving isn’t just about giving money, it’s also about volunteering your time. When you think about almsgiving this Lenten season I want you to think about these two little words: FISH FRY.

The first Lenten Fish Fry is only 3 weeks away and we need volunteers. The Fish Fry Committee has been meeting and the plans have been made but we need your support. Please visit the sign up genius at:

https://www.signupgenius.com/go/904054FACA62DAB9-61439388-lenten#/

There are spots on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday morning. Some slots are early, some are late. The greatest need is clean up. Many hands make light work.

If you need more information or can’t get the sign up genius to work for you, then contact me directly-Call, Text, or E-Mail. 54O-915-2819 DJChopski at GMail.com. Please sign up early so we have time to get all the spots filled. I will be at all six fish fries. Surely every Knight can volunteer for at least one.)

Vivat Jesus,

Dave Chopski

Grand Knight’s Report — January 2026

Worthy Brothers,

Let me start by wishing you a Merry Christmas and the Happiest and Healthiest of New Years. Being the men of Faith that we are, let me remind you that we cannot allow the world around us to reduce Christmas to just a day. We know it is more than just a day. It is an entire Season. Let’s celebrate it fully all the way up to the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord (Sunday January 11th ). Many in our Catholic family have forgotten this and maybe the younger generation just doesn’t know. Let us show them the way. Let’s celebrate the Season and not just the day. Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas all the way!

Gentleman, as you know the money we raise for charity comes from our 6 Lenten Fish Fry’s. This year the first fish fry will be Friday February 20th. We will need your help if we are going to be successful. The three greatest needs are cooks, servers, and cleanup. You can volunteer for one week or all six.

The next organizational meeting will be at the Council Home on January 12th at 6pm. This is a great opportunity if you want to help with planning.There will be sign-up sheets soon and I will let you know when they are available.

f you want to volunteer now, just let me know and I’ll get you signed up. Brothers, this year, in addition to raising money for our charity budget, I would like to see the Fish Fry’s used to promote some popular devotions that we have in the church.

The two I have in mind are Divine Mercy and The Holy Face of Jesus. Both Devotions are
very appropriate for the Lenten Season. I’m hoping we have some Knights in the Council
who practice these devotions or know someone who does and would like to promote them. If that Knight is you, please let me know. I think those attending the fish fry might enjoy learning about these devotions, especially at Lent.

Lastly, don’t forget that we have an excellent opportunity for fellowship this month. January
19th is the College Football Championship game. Come join us at the Council Home. Doors open at 6pm. The game starts at 7:30. All our welcome. More information to follow.

As always Brothers, thank you for your continued support.

Vivat Jesus,

Dave Chopski,
Grand Knight
