Brothers in Christ

My Brothers all, I was hard pressed to think about what to write for the Grand Knight report. As I started to type, I was not sure  where it would lead. During Lent rather than giving something up I decided to increase my contemplative prayer often thinking about  each of you, my Brother Knights, those of my own Council, those of whom have collaborated with me on the State and Diocesan level. Always in my Heart those who have passed before, the times we shared, the hard work, prayers, excitement with our accomplishments and the shared passion for the Order that drew compassion from each of our Hearts. I am so thankful for all of you  supporting me in our Council, faith, and  charitable works. I do not think words can express friendship; the times you put up with me and bringing about a true sense of what fraternity and unity mean. I see many of my Brothers, who are not active with the Council at Mass and wish I could reach out to them to come join us to share the unity, fraternity, and friendship. To me, the Knights are one of the connections to my Faith,  my fellow parishioners and love for Jesus.

I hope that many of you can find joy within similar values. The value of helping others, the smile from a mother who found a coat for her child. The times when we joined in prayer and broke bread or worked together at the Car Cruise and for those older members the times we used to make soup together from a Church lady’s recipe.

Here is a special invitation to those we miss instead of a regular meeting we are planning a family night of prayer and reflection with you and your family. Wednesday March11 7:00 and at 6:30 if you like to join us for an exemplification families are welcome or just see us at the Hall at 7:00.

God Bless
