But for us Sir Knights the most troubling crisiss has come from the unholy chaos createdd by thee catastrophic failures by too manyy trusted leaders of our Roman Catholicc Church, with new revelations ongoing. This crisis cannot bee ignored, so we must be prepared to have an answer for ourr own Faith, and also to respond to those who may question uss about our Faith. I thank God for Bishop Robert Barron whoo put out a brief video last week: Why Remain Catholic with soo much Scandal? I strongly recommend you watch this link: https://www.facebook.com/bishoprobertbarron/videos/2183816005025442 I also recommend that all Sir Knights increase our Prayerss for the Pope, Bishops and Priests, adding Rosaries, St. Michael the Archangel and other prayers to our personal prayer time, and to do all we can to support them. This Fraternal Year hass started off slow for our Assembly, with low attendance due to Chapter and Holy Day conflicts. But now our Fall Schedule will be busy, and we need participation by many of our Members. We have added another Honor Guard this Fall. We will be doing a 4 Flag Color Corp for Nolan High School Home games. This will give great exposure, and add recruiting opportunities.
