Letters from our Chaplain
Dear Fellow Knights, In 2014, when I was in residence at St. Patrick’s parish in Lincoln we had a missionary priest, Fr. Emanuel, preach our missionary co-op program. The missionary co-op program in the Diocese of Lincoln is where priests from all over the world speak about the Church’s missionary activity throughout the world in […]
Dear Fellow Knights, First, let me say what a blessing it is to be the new pastor of St. Teresa Parish and the chaplain for the Knights of Columbus Fitzgerald Council. I have had the pleasure of meeting many of you during the last few years as I was in residence at St. Teresa. What […]
Dear Brother Knights, It has been a privilege and an honor to serve as your chaplain for the past five years! I will never forget the annual fish fry’s (and navigating with COVID), the fireworks stand, your faithful pro-life work, your support of the physically and mentally challenged and your active presence in our parish […]
Dear Brother Knights, We are right in the midst of Holy Week and the Sacred Triuum.

Dear Brother Knights, This may be a play worth seeing this weekend. Playing at St. Mary’s in Denton. The description of the play: The needs of immigrant families & those suffering the loss of the breadwinner led Michael McGivney to found The Knights of Columbus in 1882. Another statement I received from the US bishops […]
Dear Brother Knights, This past August 13th we had the incredible opportunity to attend the first Mass to be celebrated on our beloved founder’s new feast day. All three daily Masses for our parish (including our Mass at the Pink Sisters) used these new Mass settings. As a priest saying these opening and closing prayers […]
Dear Brother Knights, As we celebrate Independence Day this month, let us continue our prayers for our blessed country. Please take a few minutes and listen to this incredible account of why the Star-Spangled Banner was composed. This is definitely something every American should hear. Star Spangled Banner As You’ve Never Heard It I would […]
