Brother Knights,
I hope your new year is off to a great start. If you’re struggling to think of a good resolution, try stopping by the church for a few minutes extra one day a week. Gradually increase that to 5 minutes, then 10. Maybe attend daily Mass once a week. There are numerous opportunities throughout Lincoln to attend Mass at various times and our parish is smack dab in the middle making it easy to get to several churches in a short drive. I have it easy at Pius. Mass is offered every day and throughout the day but I still find it a struggle to get there reliably. I have committed to once a week, but we have folks that take advantage and attend every chance they get. Whatever it is you choose to do, before long, you’ll be on your way to a deeper and more meaningful understanding of what God wants from you and how you can give back to Him.
A very big way to give back is to help out at the upcoming fish fry events! We need everyone to pitch in. This is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year but it is also a social event. Not just for fellow Knights but our loyal patrons too! There are a lot of different jobs that need to be done. Don’t fight over being named the fish squeezer, there’s 6 fish fries, you’ll get your chance to see what it’s all about. We got the patio crew, the kitchen crew, the bar crew, and the dining room help, there’s plenty of opportunities to get involved and find your niche. Be a part of the motley crew that make our fish fries the best in town.
Brother Ron sent out the Sign-Up Genius already. Please look it over and sign up for a slot. If you can only make one Friday, we’ll take your help. Kids are a great help as well. They can help in the dining room with table service. The seasoned citizens love seeing the young girls and boys helping out. Our fish fries are a destination, not simply a meal spot.
Let’s all pitch in and continue this great tradition we have of providing the best fish, the best location, and the best service in Lincoln!
Vivat Jesus!
Semper.
