Letter from Grand Knight Tom Doyle

I trust that everyone is enjoying this beautiful Fall weather that we have been blessed with. Hopefully it keeps up throughout October.

I would first like to thank everyone who helped work on the Church pews. We had 25 to 30 people involved on this project including some Knights’ family members and a few other parishioners. It looks great and is nice to have for the Bishop’s masses and 50th anniversary celebrations.

For those who were unable to make it to the September general meeting we have a number of events planned between now and Christmas that we will need help with.

We are planning on organizing the Basketball Free Throw once again this Fall. Breakfasts are scheduled to start up again the third week of October (Oct. 18) with Team “C” taking the early shift and Team “A” the late shift. Your team Captains will be calling. Our council will be looking after the lunch for the confirmation group on Sat. Oct. 17. Brother Dan O’Connor will be organizing this and will need some help.  Our parish’s 50th anniversary events continue with the Bishops mass the 1st weekend of October, banquet on Nov. 13 and parish mission Dec. 3 – 6.  The Knights will be looking after a hospitality/social on Friday, Dec. 4 after the mission. We are also hoping to have a Christmas Potluck on Wed., Dec. 9 for our members, families and friends. Feel free to bring a friend (especially potential members).

Our council will once again be helping with the London Food Drive. We will be handing out Food drive bags at the Metro store on Trafalgar from noon to 6:00pm on Oct. 5 to 9th.  If you are able to help with this please let me know.

Lastly, I ask that each member approach at least one potential Knight to invite them to join our council. Our council will be working on a number of events and the more members we have to help the less we each have to do and the more good work we can do. So please actively recruit all year.

God Bless.

Bro. Tom

Prayer of the Family

 

Heavenly Father, you have given us the model of life in the Holy Family of Nazareth. Help us, O Loving Father, to make our family another Nazareth where love, peace and joy reign. May it be deeply contemplative, intensely Eucharistic, revived with joy.

 

Help us to stay together in joy and in sorrow in family prayer. Teach us to see Jesus in the members of our families, especially their distressing disguise. May we love one another as God loves each one of us, more and more each day, and forgive each other’s faults as you forgive our sins. Help us, O loving Father; to take whatever you give and give whatever you take with a big smile.

 

Immaculate Heart of Mary, cause of joy. Pray for us.

 

St Joseph, pray for us.

Holy Guardian Angels, be always with us, guide and Protect us. Amen

I believe in God - not in a Catholic God; there is no Catholic God. There is God, and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation. Jesus is my teacher and my pastor, but God, the Father, Abba, is the light and the Creator. This is my Being.

 

Pope Francis

 

I am very fond of dreams in families. For nine months, every mother and father dream about their baby. Am I right? [Yes!] They dream about what kind of child he or she will be... You can’t have a family without dreams. Once a family loses the ability to dream, children do not grow, love does not grow, life shrivels up and dies. So I ask you each evening, when you make your examination of conscience, to also ask yourselves this question: Today did I dream about my children’s future? Today did I dream about the love of my husband, my wife? Did I dream about my parents and grandparents who have gone before me? – Address, Meeting with Families,
