I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
Christ is truly Risen! He is Risen Indeed!
March 29th marked Founder’s Day — the 142nd anniversary of the founding of the Knights of Columbus by Blessed Michael McGivney. His mission at that time remains true for all of us: to strengthen the faith of Catholic men and to support their families in time of need. As our Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly recently noted “The lesson for us is this: Put aside discouraging thoughts and pray for clarity. The Lord is with us and wants to give us the freedom to use our gifts and talents with generosity, courage and joy — for love of neighbor and the greater glory of God.”
Thank you to John Jarchow for coordinating the Culture of Life Contest and congratulations to the winners:
