Our Grand Knight Edward Gabriel
Dear Brother Knights & Sister Columbiette's,
I would like to thank God first and express my sincere gratitude for electing me as Grand Knight. I’ve
been blessed and surrounded by all my Brothers and Sisters who always give me support and encouragement.
With all your help I will confidently continue to do my best to serve our Council. On Wednesday, February 8th, we had our Free Throw Contest at Weber Junior High and more than twenty boys and girls participated. It was so nice to see all their parents who also enjoyed watching the contest. Thanks
to all Sister Columbiette's and Brother Knights who helped out that evening. My special thanks to our Worthy District Deputy who showed up and supported us.
This year I would like to focus not only on recruiting, but to reach out personally by phone to all our former members. We will follow the, “10 Keys to Recruiting Success” featured in our last three Mariner issues. Thanks to our Worthy Brother Bill Palafox, who obtained these 10 Keys from the KofC.org website and inserted them into our Mariners which will be reread during our next meeting.
We are hoping to hold a 1st and 2nd Degree in our Council on K of C’s Founder’s Day, Wednesday, March 29th. I would ask
all my Brothers to continue looking for new members to join the Degrees and to make an effort to actually come to these
Degrees like we are having on March 29th and to support our new members.
Our Lenten season begins on March 1st (Ash Wednesday).
As we begin this holy season, I would like to share Bible verse, Matthew 6:33, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and
his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides.” Most of the time we talk about recruiting new members or
what should we do to make our Council grow, or charity works we should pursue, but tend to forget to remind each other to pray, go to confession or attend daily or Sunday Mass. Let us all make our personal Lenten resolution as these, with the intention of getting and retaining new members and the return of former members. May God bless you
all and may your Lenten Season be a time of many graces.
Fraternally yours,
Edward Gabriel, GK
