Prayer for Peace
Lord, it is with great sadness
that we hear once again sounds of war
resonate in the Land that
You’ve made Holy by Your Presence.
Touch the hearts of all those involved
in this conflict so that a quick,
long lasting and peaceful solution may be found,
and that weapons and cries of sorrow
may be silenced in this Land where You,
the Prince of Peace, were born
and where the angels announced
Peace to all men and women of good will.
May Love be sown where there is hatred,
hope where there is despair,
and may darkness be scattered by Your divine Light.
Amen

Grand Knight Update
November 9, 2023
Brother Knights,
I hope you are well and enjoying some uncharacteristically mild weather – and I hope you are also looking forward to celebrating Veterans Day Weekend!
I want to first say thanks to all of you who helped with this past weekend’s Tootsie Roll Collection and providing information to Catholic Men about the KofC and our Council. Our Brother John Collins and our GK (yours truly) have 3 prospects with whom we will follow-up; we also collected over $1800 after Masses for Camp Glow and Champions for the Challenged! Special thanks to Sydd Souza and Jim Piedrafita who donated their pop-up canopies for this event – those canopies seemed to both have embedded “people-magnets!” It was a very rewarding weekend, indeed.
On Monday November 13th at 4pm, Father John will lead a “private” tour of the church construction site for the Men’s Club and for our Council. Anyone interested in participating in this private, 1-hour tour should email Brother Rick Murray with your interest in attending. First some, first served for reservations. Rick’s email address is murray20794@comcast.net
During next Thursday’s Council Membership Meeting in the tent, everyone will have the opportunity to add to the $210 we will be mailing to the Christopher Columbus Assembly as part of the Wreathes Across America Campaign (these wreathes will be placed on Veterans graves at the Baltimore National Cemetery). I will accept personal checks, Bank Checks, or cash following next Thursday’s meeting.
As always, there are quite a few items of importance also listed below as well – I encourage you to see what is occurring over the next very busy 2-3 weeks!
VIVAT JESUS!
