Brother Knights,
It’s that time of year again. Football is in full swing, the Holidays are coming fast and the leaves are falling slow. There is a lot on our calendar the next two months. Candy Cane Sunday will be Dec. 15th after all Masses. Easy peasy, we just need men to stand at the exits handing out candy canes and taking donations. We use the monies to purchase all the remaining items on the Giving Advent Wreaths. This year, we are also having Santa and Mrs. Claus at our church after the 10am and 12pm Masses in the basement. We thought this would be a great way to allow families to get their Santa photos done and be free of charge. We haven’t done that for a couple years with our kids but I think the last time we visited the mall it was $25 minimum. We’ll have a free will offering available down there too with some candy canes.
Nov. 20th is our Mass at St. Teresa church, 7pm, for the deceased Knights. All Knights and their families, including the families of past Knights are welcome to attend. We’ll have light refreshments in the basement and possibly a short meeting also.
Nov. 17th @10am Mass is our Corporate Communion. What is a Corporate Communion, you ask? I didn’t really know myself. I learned a long time ago (the hard way) that words can have several meanings. In this case, corporate means together, unified, one. This is great way to show the parish two of our pillars, Unity and Fraternity. Please consider joining us at Mass down in front with your family.
Vivat Jesus!
Semper.
