Opening Prayer

There seems to always be a guarantee in life that change will happen. Change is something we tend to fear and become anxious about because we do not feel in control of life. The good news is that God has a plan for your life to hope, future, and to prosper. If we trust in God and allow the change to grow us to become more like Jesus Christ in how we respond and act, then we are promised that all things will work together for good for those who love Him and keep His commandments. Jeremiah 29:11 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

A Message from our Worthy Grand Knight

Brother Knights, This past year has been a great success. We have brought more good men into the

Knights of Columbus and we now have over 217 members and are looking forward

to bringing in another 6-8 men during our First Degree Ceremony on Monday, June

17th.

Once again, the Golf Tournament was a huge success. Special thanks to Tim,

Ricardo, Don, Joe, Ron, Tom and all the others that put in their time and talents to

make sure this would be one to remember. It was very special to meet and talk with

some of the wounded warriors. They expressed great appreciation for being included

in the Golf Tournament.

I would also like to thank all the spouses that showed up to help with the check in of

all the golfers along with ticket sales for the raffles.

I am looking forward to what the coming years brings. With hard work and

cooperation amongst all the Brother Knights, I have no doubt that this next year will

be one of the best ever!

My God Bless each and every one of my Brother Knights and their families.

Prayer for the Canonization of Father Michael J. McGivney God, our Father, protector of the poor and defender of the widow and orphan, you called your priest, Father Michael J. McGivney, to be an apostle of Christian family life and to lead the young to the generous service of their neighbor. Through the example of his life and virtue may we follow your Son, Jesus Christ, more closely, fulfilling his commandment of charity and building up his Body which is the Church. Let the inspiration of your servant prompt us to greater confidence in your love so that we may continue his work of caring for the needy and the outcast. We humbly ask that you glorify your venerable servant Father Michael J. McGivney on earth according to the design of your holy will. Through his intercession, grant the favor I now present (here make your request). Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Our Father Hail Mary Glory be to the Father
