Worthy Brother Knights,

Hope your new year has been good so far. We are now entering the busiest time for our council – Lent and through spring has multiple events. We have everything from parties to fish fries to dinners to religious formation events. I ask everyone to please watch for notes and emails regarding all these going forward. I hope to see many of you at these different events and look forward to seeing how 2024 rolls out for us.

We will be holding an organizational meeting at the Council Home on Monday, February 19th at 7pm to just put dates on the calendar for events for the rest of the fraternal year. Please come and let your opinions and ideas be known.

I know that at least 2 of our Brothers are having issues getting email blasts so please let me know if you are having issues and I will make sure to email you directly.

Vivat Jesus!

Worthy Brother Knights,

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Welcome to 2024. If last year is any indication, then this will definitely be a interesting year. We have some interesting plans in place heading into the summer, so please keep your eyes open for things to come. We are planning on running a membership drive at the parishes. If you have any ideas about that please let us (the council officers) know.

We also have our fish fries coming soon enough. Actually I am putting sign up sheets out on the bar for each day so please sign up in advance! A sign up genius will come out closer to the events. We also have a dinner or two being planned but those are still in idea stages right now but will let you know as soon as we have some dates in play. A new year is a great time to look at one’s self and decide to do more in one area of life or another. If you are interested in getting more involved in the council and/or it’s volunteer work then please let us know and we will be glad to help point you in the right direction.

Lastly I want to make a quick mention about all the different things I have heard from different areas about the Pope authorizing blessings. You will note stopped from saying “blessing same sex couples” because it directly says not to do that. Remember that there are many blessings in the church, blessings of the sick, for those in distress, blessing of last rites, blessing on homes, and many more. These are all blessings that are allowed and should be offered to everyone. Don’t listen to what is said on Fox or CNN or the New York Times. Listen to what is said by priests and bishops about this.

Thank is all I have for you all this month. I look forward to seeing you all soon

Vivat Jesus!
