Dear Brothers,

We have entered the season of Lent, a time for each of us to look within ourselves and determine how we can each become better individuals, better Catholics and better Knights.  While I reflect on how to improve upon myself, I will also reflect on how to improve as your Grand Knight.  My hope is that each of you will look within and decide how you can be better Knights.  It seems only fitting, that the month of March is filled with activities, where we can all show our devotion to our Order, our Religion, and to our Church.

We will start off by meeting at 8PM on March 1st; asking all who wish to take part in helping to formulate a plan to support the “Restoring God’s Glory” campaign for OLPH Parish.  You will recall that a motion scheduled to be addressed at our Feb 2nd meeting; one to commit a donation of $40,000 over the next 4 years to our Parish.  An alternative motion and vote was taken to table the initial motion to formalize a fundraising plan for presentation to the Trustees.  I am inviting all who would like to take part in creating and participating in the support of OLPH Parish to join us at our Council on March 1st at 8PM. 

This year our annual St. Patrick’s Day dance is being dedicated to our Parish Priests.  This is a great way for us to thank the men who have dedicated their lives to the spreading and teaching us the Word of God.  We have invited our current Parish Priests, along with several others, our Deacons, and the seminarians that we support.  If you are unable to join us at the dance, you can take an ad in the commemorative journal and put into words; your thanks to a Priest who helped you at some point in your life.

We will finish up our month of preparation for Easter, with Fr. Trapani joining us on Tuesday March 30th at 8PM for our quarterly 5th Tuesday discussion about our faith.  This is a nice informal way for all of to get together, and learn and share with each other our thoughts about our faith.

So as you can see, the upcoming month, will enable each of us to take an active part and enable us to publicly show our support to our Catholic Religion, to our Parish Priests, to OLPH Parish.  And at the same time, we will be putting into practice the principles of the K of C: Charity, Unity and Fraternity.

Vivat Jesus

Michael T. Hearney
