K of C Council 3956 August 2022 Newsletter

Brother Knights and Friends,

Below is the link for our newsletter for August 2022. You will notice that there are several more articles from more of our officers and directors. One common theme is service to community. A resonating message as we gear up for the St. Pius X One Day Parish Festival this Saturday, August 20th from Noon to 11:00 p.m.

Please make a point to volunteer for a few hours at the festival and spend some time supporting this very important and crucial event for our parish. Remember also to attend our Downriver K of C picnic at Centennial Park on Grosse Ile, the following Saturday, August 27th. Bring the whole family.

Finally, please take time to read and reflect on the Prayer of the Month. Service with a joyful heart…with gentleness, compassion, and tenderness…

I look forward to seeing each of you at the Festival and then the following Saturday at the Downriver Picnic.

Peace!

Tony Chirco
Trustee, PR Director, and Newsletter Editor

K of C Council 3956 July 2022 Newsletter

Brother Knights and Friends,

We begin our newsletter this month focusing on our 2nd Annual Tony Cerezo Memorial Golf Outing. This year the proceeds will go the Sacred Hear Major Seminarians. As we know, there is a shortage of men entering the priesthood. This makes it all the more important for this year’s golf outing to be a success. If you are a golfer, this a bargain for 18 holes of golf, plus breakfast combo, gift bags, a great lunch and a trophy up for grabs, and prizes. Volunteers are needed as well. This is very much worthy of your time. Encourage your friends as well to join in the fun.

Please read on as the other messages and announcements are important to our community. As Deacon Chuck articulates, “we must be vigilant, faithful to the cause, standing up for those who cannot” and Brother Robert Park our co-editor that “we are reminded how God wants us to live”.

God Bless all of us and our families.

Please take the time to read messages from our Grand Knight Bill Robert to step forward and give of yourself to earn that inner peace by doing God’s work.

All are worthy of you time to read and react.

Fathers, we are the caretakers, the role models, the counselors, the consolers, the protectors, and the teachers to our children. With all that experience, we are naturally the best people to share our skills with our community as a member of the Knights of Columbus.

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

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,

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.
