Dear Brother Knights,
April 2018 Update
This month’s Grand Knight’s message:
Our 25th Anniversary event this past Sunday attested to the spirit and brotherhood of our council. In the next General meeting we will commence our nominations for officers of the council for the up-coming council year starting in July. Let us know of your interest in taking up a position. If you haven’t been an officer this is a great opportunity to grow personally and lead by example.
The month of May is the “month which the piety of the faithful has especially dedicated to Our Blessed Virgin Mary. There are typically special Marian devotions held in the church during the month honoring the Mary as “the Queen of May and Heaven.
