Grand Knight Report
Welcome to fall. My how the time flies by-where did the summer go?
I found this quote in the KC state newsletter from State Deputy Corey Christopher Coonen and thought it was very appropriate to share with you.
At times in years such as 2020, this simple task seems easy to overlook and forget. We weren’t told just to love those neighbors who agree with our viewpoints, but to love all. It seems as though too easily we come to ‘judge’ others based off of comments that they make or viewpoints that they have. In this year, it seems that we have division amongst our families, our friends and even within our Parish on issues and individuals in this highly tense politicized climate. Whatever happened to civility? Whatever happened to having discourse and dialogue with those of opposing viewpoints without ‘labeling’ or spewing hate rather than love and understanding?
With the elections coming up this next month please use one of your most important rights and get out and vote in this very important election.
St. Mary’s School
The Essay Topic for 2020-2021 is Faith in Action – Community Programs. We will need someone to take this project on. So if one of you fine men would like to take on a project here is a pretty easy one. I also have information on the Free Throw Championship to share with the chair.
Blood Drive:
We are signed up for two more blood drives October 22nd & December 21st. Please mark your calendars to get signed up to give blood. Notice the date change for December.
Birthday Wishes
