Greetings Brothers and Happy New Year to each and every one of you. Firstly I am very humbled and honored to have been chosen to take on the position of Grand Knight with our Council. There are some who have gone before me that have left some very big shoes to fill however, that said, I have an Executive Group that is extremely helpful and supportive as I try to come to terms with my duties. Like every other Council we have our challenges in attracting new members and keeping them active in our community. At the time of writing this piece our Parish Mission is underway and we have an exceptional theologian by the name of Megan Mc Kenna who hails from Albuquerque NM. This lady is truly inspiring and weaves the message of the gospel through her storytelling and her preaching.

If you ever get the chance to attend a Mission where Megan is speaking I would strongly encourage you to go and listen to her. Looking forward to the year ahead we are making preparations for our membership drive which will be upon us soon and we are hopeful that we will encourage some of the young men in our community to get involved with us. The following is a calendar of events that are taking place in our Parish and all are welcome:

February 5th Pancake Supper Parish Youth Group 4:00 – 7:00 pm

February 6th Ash Wednesday Ecumenical Service Mass @ 7:15 am

February 11th World Day of the Sick Mass @ 7:00 pm

February 20th Council 9539 Executive Meeting @ 6:30 pm

February 20th Council 9539 Council Meeting @ 7:30 pm

I look forward to meeting each of you throughout the coming year and I wish you all every success in your Council endeavors whatever they may be.

Your Brother in Christ,

Vivat Jesus! Ken Martin
Grand Knight, Council 9539
