K of C Council 3956 March 2022 Newsletter
To my friends of the Knights of Columbus,
“I Got This!”
That was the message I received as I prayed to God for healing and guidance.
Since our last newsletter, actually in the last few days, we have experienced the ultimate highs and lows in life. On March 17th, we were blessed with a healthy newborn grandson. The next day we were faced with the challenge of our own life. God has our back and through his love and mercy, we must trust in him that brighter days are ahead. Please pray for us and for each other.
God Bless,
Anthony (Tony) Chirco

Novena for the Consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Today the Knights of Columbus calls on its over two million members and their families worldwide to join in nine days of prayer beginning March 17, 2022. Initiated by Catholics in Ukraine, the novena leads up to the Feast of the Annunciation, on March 25th, when Pope Francis will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Saint Peter’s Square in Rome. This date is historically significant, as on the same day in 1984, Saint John Paul II consecrated Russia and the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
“During this time of immense suffering in Ukraine, I call on our more than two million Knights to devote themselves in prayer to our Blessed Virgin Mary,” said Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly. “Together, we’ll ask Our Lady to intercede on behalf of those directly impacted by the conflict, to give strength to our Ukrainian and Polish Knights working so hard to deliver relief, and to help bring peace to the region.”

My brother Knights and Friends,
As COVID took its latest swipe on many of us, we find ourselves recovering to a new enlightenment. We are not invincible and we need each other to help each other through the challenges we face. I was not alone. My wife got it as did Worthy District Deputy Ray Bilyk and his wife Jennifer. There are many more of us who have been through this. Keep each other in prayer! We are back and ready for the challenges.
I hope to see many of you at the numerous social events coming up as we have detailed for you in this newsletter.
Remember your Valentine!!!

Happy New Year!
I have a feeling. A good feeling. Although it’s cold outside and the latest Covid variant is raging, there’s definitely signs of great hope in the new year. Hope is a very positive and powerful emotion. When we embrace it and give it energy, we grow not only for ourselves, but for the benefit of those who need us.
I encourage you to read the newsletter and find within it hope for yourself. The theme for this month is fellowship. We quote “Many Hands Make Light Work”. Working together, we have fun and accomplish God’s plan for us.
Welcome to the New Year. Embrace the hope and give it energy.
God Blessing to you and all those you love.
