K of C Council 3956 February 2022 Newsletter

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.

Brother Knights and Friends,

I hope and pray you and your family are enjoying this Christmas season in peace and good health. Our good friend Deacon Chuck has recovered from COVID with a spirited message of preparedness in this month’s newsletter. New members have joined in the messaging. Please take the time to learn and enjoy all that we are doing here in the community of St. Pius X parish. As we look ahead, we will be partnering once again with our great school in a “Keep Christ in Christmas” Poster competition, a Spelling Bee and a Free Throw competition.

A Knight before CHRISTmas

I encourage all my Brother Knights to offer the gift of Knighthood this upcoming CHRISTmas Season. This may be the best gift you can give! Give him the gift that strengthens his Faith, grows his engagement in Charity, provides the Unity of men serving their Church, family and community, and Fraternally linking him and his family to the largest Catholic lay organization in the world.

Offer this gift of membership to your family, friends and work colleagues during this CHRISTmas Season. Your gift to him could truly change his life and it is FREE! Just direct him to kofc.org/joinus promo code MCGIVNEY2020 along with their interest in joining Council 3956 and your membership number (found on your membership card) and he will be a Knight before CHRISTmas.

Brother Knights and Friends,

We are approaching the holiday season and indeed, there are a multitude of reasons to be thankful. We have the love of God, family and friends, and the fellowship of our Brother Knights. We have a new Deacon, Charles (Chuck) Dault. Please read his insight into evangelization as Knights; it is inspiring.

I hope to see many of you at our Jazz Night on Friday, June 19th and our Christmas Dinner on December 4th.

Have a faith filled Thanksgiving Holiday.
