Worthy Brothers,

As we enter the last half of our fraternal year, let us strive to be more like St
Joseph. Call upon him for help when dealing with your family, your lives and
one another. Let us all support our charities in this upcoming year. We pray
for an end of this pandemic and seek St Joseph’s guidance to help make our
Council flourish for future Brother Knights of Columbus.
I look forward to seeing you at our general meeting on February 9th!

                       Thanks to our ladies for all your
                         support We are here because
                                   Of YOU

From the Desk of the Chaplain…

As we find ourselves now in the doldrums of winter during the longest month of the year. February,
to me, always feels like longest month, and we can use this time to prepare. Prepare for what you
may ask. Prepare to shovel snow? Prepare to slip on the ice? No, to prepare for our Lent and our
Lenten observances.
Lent begins on Wednesday, March 2nd, so this makes February a great time to prepare for Lent. Use
the time to determine what you wish to abstain from during Lent and which devotions you feel
called to make a part of my Lenten pray life. This is the month in which you can shed light on your
spiritual lives. February is the month of light!
February begins with the Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple. A day when the
Church celebrates the Light of Christ entering the Temple. It is the day in which we bless the candles
that we will use in the coming liturgical year. A day we celebrate the Light of Christ. We so need that
light to help us in our daily lives. It brightens our lives and dispels the darkness.
It is with those newly blessed candles that the next day we bless throats during the Feast of Saint
Blaise. We use the light to bring us health. Both our spiritual and physical health.
My brothers do not let this opportunity, this month of preparation, pass without thinking of how you
can improve your relationship with Christ and make your Lent the productive time our Lord wants it
to be for you.
May God Bless you and your families during this month of light!
