                                                                   February 26th
                                                       For the Father Saylor Council, the pinnacle of the year is the
                                                         Annual Anniversary Dinner and Dance. The party honors
                                                              an outstanding leader of the Council, very often an
                                                        Immediate Past Grand Knight. There have been 35 PGK in
                                                         the last 68 years. Going back to our founding, they include
                                                          such deceased Past Grand Knights as Leo Paluch, Julian
                                                       Joseph, Barney Haiduc, Art Champagne, Jack McAdoo, Sig
                                                        Obrycki, Andy Bertilino, Ed Klenczar and Marcos Dias. To
                                                         honor and keep all of them in our memories, we include a
                                                         list of all of our PGK on page two of this monthly Knight
                                                             Notes. Our most Recent PGK, Joe Martinez will be
                                                         honored on Saturday Feb. 26th. Some of our PGK helped
                                                             in the founding of our Council. Others stewarded us
                                                       through our growth as we became one of the top Councils in
                                                         Michigan. But none of these distinguished gentlemen ever
                                                          faced a crisis as severe as the COVID-19 pandemic. The
                                                             pandemic caused a significant number of stand-alone
                                                          Councils to close their halls and become Parish Councils.
                                                            But Fr. Saylor Council sailed through, maintaining its
                                                       programs and even expanding its activities despite isolation,
                                                        lockdowns and social distancing. Joe and the loyal officers
                                                        and the committee chairs have made our Council one of the
                                                           few Councils in Michigan to emerge from the pandemic
                                                        stronger than before. Come celebrate our 68tth Anniversary
                                                          on Sat. Feb 26th. Tickets are $25 and are available in the
                                                                          Lounge. See you on the 26th!

                                                                FEBRUARY 13, 2022
                                       The Big Game is not far off and Fr. Saylor will once again be hosting its
                                       own Super Bowl LVI Party!
                                       Bring a dish to pass as we celebrate this coming year’s Super Bowl starting
                                       at 6 pm on Sunday, February 13th in our Council Lounge.
                                         There will be food to share and a 50/50 raffle for one lucky person to win,
                                         as well as drink specials on domestic buckets of beer during the game only.
So, don’t miss a fun night join us for football, food and crazy commercials as we wrap up this year’s NFL season
with the biggest sporting event of the year, Super Bowl LVI.

                         Brother Knights Gooday All,
                         I want to first and foremost thank everyone involved with the much needed facelift of our very
                         own Father Saylor room. I encourage everyone to go down to take a look. It certainly adds to all
                         that we offer here at the Council in a very positive way.
                         We have so much going on at the Council in February like the Chili Cook off, Super Bowl, State
                         Bowling Tournament, Trivia Night, The Exemplification ( the old Major Degree), the
                         Anniversary Party and finally the Family Soup Supper. I hope to see everyone through the month
                         at least once or twice.
I would like everyone with a little time to spare to think about joining the Rosary Chain. I know many people are not
comfortable at a funeral home but I have seen firsthand what a show of Brotherhood means to a Family during their
time of sorrow.
Our membership team has already gotten us off to a good start for the Fraternal Year with over 10 new members.
Please remember to introduce yourself to the new members.
As always feel free to contact me at 734-308-2386 or GK3774@mikofc.org

   Continued from page 3

Often, we ask in prayer something of God that we think is big, but God wants to give us something even
bigger—usually the most valuable thing we can receive from God—our salvation.
It is accurate to say that a relationship with God is one way to get to Heaven. We must pray if we expect to develop
a relationship with God and gain Heaven. Mary will also help in this regard and I strongly suggest daily recitation
of the Holy Rosary. If I am Catholic, I need to know how to pray the Rosary. If I feel that praying an entire Rosary
each day is overwhelming, then I can pray one decade per day to start, and work up to one whole Rosary per day.
Praying the Rosary and our devotion to Our Lady is truly part of our Catholic identity. Praying the Rosary will also
help develop our relationship with Mary, Our True Mother. Finally, as we bring our problems or crises to Jesus and
to Mary in prayer, also remember to pray for the grace of acceptance of God’s Holy Will, or acceptance of the outcome.
It is usually the case that we receive something unexpected in answer to our prayers, but not quite precisely what we
were asking for.
As a side note, I have always liked the last recorded words of Mary in the Gospel: ‘Do whatever He tells you.’ After
those words, Mary is silent.

Peace, Blessings,
Rev. Fr. Raymond E. Arwady

to work after the BA decided to improve the appearance of our basement hall. A crew was
put together to paint the walls, install new base moldings and strip and wax the floor. The
result is a brand new looking hall which is rented out to Members for various events
throughout the year. The BA had lots of help in finishing a project that took about two
weeks to complete. Crew members included: Paul & Joe Carnarvon, Dan Hurd, Joe Lalli,
Joe Martinez and Jose Villareal. Thanks to everyone for a job well done. If you are
interested in reserving the hall for any upcoming events, The lower Lounge has a capacity of
about 100, please call the Member Lounge at 313-386-1850.

                                         Wanted – Needed
  We are in need of some committed Brother Knights to work as a team to produce the
  Council Newsletter. For the past almost Twelve years a group of Brother Knights have
  produced the Knight Notes for the Council and have
  not only saved the Council about $6,000 a year but
  have made a commitment to inform the Council
  members of Council events. We are in need of an
  editor, copy proof readers, layout and script writers.
  In addition to serving almost 800 members, the
  Knight Notes is e-mailed to about 200 members
  saving the Council the cost of printing and postage
  and is also posted on our web site. The Grand Knight
  and present staff will work with anyone interested in
  this very important project. Contact our Grand Knight
  Don Siegel for more information 313-299-9388

our famous salad bowl was back accompanied by                  Love,
Liberati’s garlic bread. The last week in February usually     The Carmody Family
features some of the coldest weather of the winter so our
Grand Knight coordinated a Chili and Soup dinner. With
the weather beginning to warm and spring right around          --
the corner, the carnivores are coming out of their caves
and nothing but a thick, juicy, grilled strip steak is going
to satisfy them. Think about that baked potato smothered
in sour cream. Is the wife hankering for the endless salad
bowl? You know that by March 30th, Spring will have
officially been here for over a week and the crocus may
even be blooming out in front of the Lounge. So the last
Wednesday of the month is the best time to grab a beer
and head out to the back of the Council to throw a steak or
two on the grill. We will be having a good time from 5 to 8
pm. Due to the sky-rocketing prices of beef, this year we
are forced to raise the price of the Steak Cookout from $12
to $15. But you can still shake off the winter blues with a
mouth-watering, sizzling steak. See you there!
