Dear Brothers in Christ,
We have come to the threshold of a new year! I pray that the passage into this new year of grace will inspire each of you to step over a threshold of recommitment…a resolution to take time to open your heart to the unconditional and abundant love that God offers you, walking with you in the ordinary events of each day. Christmas is a celebration of God’s coming to earth in the flesh of the Eternal Word, and not only in JESUS, the love and light of God lives in each of us also, and in all of creation…if we are open to seeing it.
Epiphany means MANIFESTATION… God is SEEN, shown to us as a human being. We marvel at the story of those “wise men”, following a star that led them to JESUS, LIGHT of the WORLD! They journeyed toward the light… just as we can journey into and through this new year, trusting in the guiding light of the Holy Spirit.
This is 2021, a new year (and we are all anxious to have a new and safe world where we can meet and serve again)! As we continue to give great physical attention to mask and social distancing from others, as an act of charity - for everyone’s safety, we could take advantage of this time to give attention to our inner spiritual health: Spending time
Even a pinpoint of light has a great effect in darkness. Let your light shine, Brothers!
VIVAT JESUS!
Fr. Greg Chaplain
On 7 November 2024, the Board of Directors of the Columbian Association of Sierra Vista, Inc held a Special Board Meeting to discuss and vote on the HVAC Project for the Columbian Hall. In regard to the direction of the Board of Directors and the Funding Grant requirements, the Board approved the HVAC contractor and the time line for the project start and anticipated completion date. The projected completion date of this project is early February. This will begin the process of much needed repairs, upgrades and modernization of the Columbian building.
The Knights Way project is underway! Many thanks to Doug Jaques for spearheading this project.
A rosary for Rosa Jacinto wife rosary is scheduled for 6:00 PM at Hatfield Funeral on 15 November, with the funeral on the 16th.
We are looking at different times for the COR dialog to increase participation, any suggestions would be welcomed. Contact the Grand Knight with your suggestions.
We are in need of several program directors; Life, Family and Faith, prayerfully consider stepping into one of these positions to help our council.
Do you know a brother Knight that would like to be active in the Council but doesn’t know how? Contact them and invite them to a meeting! Assist them at an event! Contact one of the officers if you know any brothers that are not sure what it means to be a Knight!
We are also in need of Bingo Workers; it is a two day per month commitment and by helping you earn money for the council and will get a free meal! This has been our primary income source for that last couple of years; please consider volunteering!
If you have a suggestion for a worthy family for Family of the Month, this family does not have to be a Knight, just a member of the Parish, and Knight of the month please send your submission to the Program Director, [email protected].
Brothers, many of you already show your support to the numerous ministries within our Parish, for that we thank you!! For many of our brothers, scheduling is an issue; kids’ sports, school activities, work and so on…As brother Knights we are all called to serve, there are many ways to serve and by serving we become better fathers, husbands, better men. We do not ask you to be part of all the events that we do; find the one that calls you. So, I ask all brother Knights what calls you to be a Knight? Where can you serve?
We want to welcome the new slate of officers for the next Fraternal Year - Thank you for all who have chosen to serve!
The Council also want to thank all of the brother Knights who assisted with the two Ice Cream Socials and assisted in the reception for Msgr. Greg. Special thanks to Doug Jacques, Alan Balzarini, Dale Hammond, David Grubb, Stephen Vukomanovich, Larry Carter, John Goodman, Paul McMackin, Robert Benton, Michael Benton, Jonanthan Benton and several family members. Between the three events we went through 14 tubs of ice cream which is over 42 gallons of ice cream!
Please give a hearty congratulations to the June Knight of the Month: Michael Zehr, this month Gerry Katie Gabel were chosen as Family of the Month for June!
During the month of April, the Columbian Association donated $1950 to our council.
By lending their support, brother knights help raise needed funds to continue works of charity in our community.
Please come to our next business meeting held every second Tuesday at the Columbian Hall starting at 7:00pm.
All are welcome to the Officers Meetings at 6pm every first Tuesday!
