Message from Our Grand Knight Tom Scalise
Dear Brother Knights & Sister Columbiettes,
As we have now gone to a bi-monthly Mariner, I would like to give you an update on what is going on at the council for the next 2 months. On November 4, we will be hosting the monthly parish breakfast at Our
Lady of Fatima. We will use this opportunity to try and recruit new members. We will also sell the “Keep Christ in Christmas” magnets.
On November 23, we will be raising our “Keep Christ in Christmas”banner in St. Peter’s grounds for all the community to see. Let’s plan on 10:00am. Any assistance will be appreciated.
The St. Peter’s Holly Fair will be December 1 and 2. Time will be 9-4 Saturday and 9-2 Sunday. We will be selling our magnets on those dates. Please let me know if you will be available to volunteer on these days.
On December 4, the Annual Nativity Lighting will take place at St. Peter’s at 7:00pm. We are moving the nativity from the Port Washington Fire Department to St. Peter’s. We will hold a Cake and Hot Chocolate reception in the St. Peter’s cafeteria afterwards.
Hopefully this will bring in potential members to both the Knights and Columbiettes.
The tentative date for a Council Christmas party is Saturday evening, December 8. Time still to be determined.
We will once again be collecting canned food to be distributed to the food pantries at OLF and St. Peters.
This will coincide with purchasing gift cards to Stop and Shop to help families have an enjoyable Thanksgiving and Christmas.
As you all should be aware by now, the Council hall is in need of a facelift. The floor will be replaced, and we will take the time to paint. I have been in contact with various contractors waiting on bids. This renovation will take priority over any Council events scheduled which would be cancelled.
The Knights of Columbus mission statement is, “A Catholic Fraternal order dedicated to promoting and conducting educational, charitable, religious and social welfare works rendering mutual aid and assistance to sick and needy members and their families as well with the goal to continue to grow the order.”
What I have outlined above in the events we have planned hits directly on what we are all about. We should be working closely with the parishes we support to further enhance the good name of our order. I would like to wish everyone a Healthy and Happy Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas!
Fraternally,
Tom Scalise, Grand Knight
