Grand Knight’s Message Brother Knights, The end of the calendar year is approaching. The Advent Season is here. In keeping with the new Faith in Ac on Model put forth by our Supreme Council, it is hoped that as many Knights’ families as possible will consecrate themselves to the Holy Family. In keeping with that desire, we here at Santa Maria Council are going to par cipate in a special Mass on December 30th, the Feast of the Holy Family. The Mass will be held at St. Vincent Pallo Church at 901 Hop-kins Road, Haddon Township, at 9:00 AM. This is something new that will be added to our yearly agenda. I would urge as many Knights, with their families, to a end. This regular Sunday Mass will permit many families to par cipate in the Consecra-on. A er Mass, we will share coffee, juice and donuts in the Parish Hall.
As we prepare for the birth of Our Lord, please remember to keep in your prayers all those who suffer for their belief in Him. I wish everyone a very blessed and Merry Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year. Vivat Jesus! Jerry Burke, GK
