From Our Chaplain

 

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 

  • examining my “heart health”, resolving to take steps toward repairing relationships, forgiving myself and becoming the person that God has created and redeemed me to be.
  • examining my “seeing health”, resolving to look for and celebrate the goodness around me, seeing Christ in the eyes of those around me.
  • And examining my “hearing health”, resolving to listen for the voice of God, as He speaks to me, through Scripture, the teachings of the Church, and my conscience; listening to the deep down truth, wisdom and beliefs that are waiting for my attention and action.

Even a pinpoint of light has a great effect in darkness.  Let your light shine, Brothers!

VIVAT JESUS!

Fr. Greg
Chaplain

 

Upcoming Events

Council 4584 Upcoming Events

Corporate Communions:  The next Corporate Communion is scheduled for Wednesday, the 15th of March, at 12:00 PM. 

Annual Lenten Fish Fry:  The annual Fish Fry will start on Friday, the 24th of February.  It runs for six Fridays, ending on the 31st of March.  We are looking at contracting for the set-up, cooking, and cleaning which means Knights will be needed to welcome, sell tickets, take Lenten donations of food and money, serve the food, and bus the tables.  Remember, the event is not being held with the intent to make money, it is being held as a gift from us to the parish.  Please consider volunteering.

Scholarship Program:  Information has been submitted to the Officers concerning the Scholarship Program.  Three scholarships will be offered this year:  Christina Valdez Scholarships for general studies with two $1000 scholarships and the Petra Carter $1000 Scholarship for the Trades. This information has been offered to the Bulletin and through Flock Notes.

The scheduled council meetings for March 2023 are as follows:

Officers meeting is 7 March at 6 PM

Brother Knights....

 

 

Are you good with numbers?

Is balancing your checkbook easy-peasy?

The Columbian Hall is looking to begin a parallel

effort for the Treasurer's position.  Ensuring a smooth tranition for

this office is important for both the bingo and event portions 

the hall requires.  Only a few flexible hours are required each week.
