Please welcome and introduce yourself to our newest Brother Knights from our 1st Degree on January 28th: Nick Ellis, John Arroyo, Greg Erb, Michael Powell, and Jusup Hansen. Thanks to Brother Steve Vetter and the 1st Degree Team for another successful ceremony. The AFC/NFC Playoffs were a great success. Thanks to all that worked and attended. And thanks to all that worked and attended our Sunday breakfast in January. We had about 35 people for breakfast and it really was great to see people coming to the Knights to socialize before and after Mass. A special thanks to the Columbian Club for the new fence that they installed over the last couple of months. You can feel the excitement in the air as we approach Ash Wednesday, Lent, and St. Patrick s Day. There are many events coming up so please take note of the calendar. Keep in your prayers: Fr. McGivney, our troops and veterans, and all the sick and/or in distress Brothers and family. Go to Mass and pray the Rosary often.
