Grand Knight’s Report

Grand Knight Kevin Cornelius

Brother Knights and Families,

As we approach the Christmas Season, I am in awe of the Nativity. Almighty God decides to send us his Son, not with fanfare and noise or horns blaring like the marketing deluge of modern times. Rather, He sends His Son to us in humble, simple terms. Jesus’ message to us is equally simple and profound. Have faith and trust in God…Love your neighbor… and He will care for you. What could be a greater gift! The officers of Council 4731 extend our most heartfelt wish for a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year! This December, we have a number of wonderful activities to get involved! WE NEED YOUR HELP!

The Keep Christ in Christmas Magnets are selling, we need help in selling!. Sell them or buy them to pass around to your family and friends! The proceeds continue to support our efforts at St. Augustine’s and other benefits. Contact Peter Frank for details! The St. Augustine’s Christmas party is December 5th. This program has been going on for….I don’t know how long.! Think of the hundreds of kids who get a day with Santa and a gift to boot! Please contact Kevin Sheehan for details on how to help! The Grand Knight’s Christmas Party! Scheduled for December 11th, at Wagner’s Country Inn in Westlake! 6pm open bar, dinner at 6:45!. $20/person (less than last year!). Contact myself or DGK Jim Bauer to make a reservation! (before Dec 6th). Upcoming 1st degree is December 8th. Just ask that person your thinking about! You never know! Contact Paul Mathieson! Sr. . Corita of St. Augustine will be our guest speaker on December 15th! Don’t miss it! What an amazing group of guest speakers at our meetings! Thanks Paul Mathieson and Jerry Nowesnick for the guest Lecture series!

I want to thank brother Jim Buckley for taking on the VA Hospital Christmas program. Jim’s dedication to others is always an inspiration. Our new Recorder is Mike Okeniewski! Be sure to thank Mike for stepping up the next time you see him! Please keep all our Brothers and their family in your prayers. In particular, pray for our brother Howard Schmieler who passed away last week. Vivat Jesus! Fraternally Yours W. Kevin Cornelius Grand Knight
