Letters from our Grand Knight
Brother Knights, Vivat Jesus my Brother Knights! I am not a fan of Latin by any means. It’s considered a dead language. What does that mean? When a language is no longer spoken by a group of people as their native tongue. Nevertheless, our Catholic Church is full of Latin. In this case, Vivat Jesus means May Jesus Live or Jesus […]
Brother Knights, By the time you read this, the new school year will be underway already. Where does the time go? We pulled off an amazing Jayhawk Jumpstart this year! We fed 500 hungry kids and parents. All we had left over was a few hot dogs. This is a time for fun and being social. This is becoming a fantastic […]
Brother Knights, Right now it’s 95 degrees outside and it feels like the humidity couldn’t get any higher! Summer in Nebraska. I’ll take it. I love having four seasons (at least that is what I tell folks). It’s been a busy month not just for me but the Knights too. We just finished our second […]
Brother Knights, This will be my final newsletter article as your Grand Knight. Thank you for allowing me to lead this great organization these past 2 years. I hope I have served you well and honorably. We have accomplished many great things these last two years and this is because of the dedication and commitment […]
Brother Knights, Here we are diving into the month of May! Spring brings us so many wonderful things. Our parish has had the first communion celebrations, confirmation is in the next few weeks, we have beautiful flowers and trees blooming (along with allergies)….it is just a time of new beginnings! I recently attended the Knights […]
Happy Spring Brother Knights! Here we are already into April. Hard to believe how quickly the Lenten season went, along with our fish frys. What a VERY SUCCESSFUL fish fry season it was for our council. I am not sure if you were able to read our FS Tony Schafers recaps every week, but we […]
Brother Knights, Happy March, Brother Knights! I would say that we are closing in on Spring, but with the February we had it seems as though spring has sprung. As you all know, Spring brings Lent, Lent brings fish fries, fish fries bring people and without many of you we wouldn’t be able to have […]
Belated Happy New Year Brother Knights! We were so busy as the calendar rolled over to 2024 that we didn’t have time to get a newsletter out for January. Even though we started a new year, our council stayed steadfast in providing services to others! Brother Brad Behne is the Knight of the Month for […]
Brother Knights, WOW! It is hard to believe that December of 2023 has arrived! For some it has been a blessed year, and for others there have been struggles. Knowing that we are nearing Advent and the birth of our Savior we need to remember that this is the season of Hope, Peace, Joy and […]
Brother Knights, Happy Fall! My favorite time of the year! The World Series wrapped up last night with the Rangers winning their first championship and the Husker football team are playing meaningful games in November, which hasn’t happened in a long time! Many of us remember when Nebraska dominated year after year after year on […]
