Grand Knight Comments

Chaplain’s Corner We are soon to begin our Season of Lent 2021. This should be a very different Lent because we haveour sacrifices already made up for us. Coping With COVID we are asked to maintain social distancing,wear face masks, not engage in visiting, avoid any kind of gathering that is not structured, and above all,be kind to one another. Being regimented in this manner and faced with cabin fever by spending too much time at home withthe same persons hour after hour, day after day, can try the best of us. But Lent is for dying to oneself andlooking out for one another. Its all little more difficult than ‘giving up’ something. Its a good time tochallenge our Christian Faith. Do you pay lip-service to what is asked by Jesus; or do you make your best

efforts to learning what it means to die to your own self interests and living for someone else. We are faced with this challenge to our Faith. Saying what I believe is one thing; doing it is another matter. Jesus saysyou must be “ DOERS OF THE WORD, NOT HEARERS ONLY”. I challenge you, my brother knights, to rise up to thischallenge and learn a little more about thudding so that you might see a little more what the coming celebration of Jesus’Resurrection is all about for you. And I will pray for you as you hopefully pray for me that we experience a deeper living ofthat dying-and-rising.Fr. Tom, Council Chaplain

Steak Cookouts Back March 31st !Integral to this event being a success will be stringentuse of face coverings and social distancing. We don’twant the K of C to make the front page of The News-Herald as thelatest viral hot spot. Our committee is working very hard to make thisa safe event as well as a happy event so if you don’t want to come inthe front door of the lounge wearing a face covering, go somewhereelse. Once you enter the lounge you will notice there are fewertables and chairs. This is order to encourage social distancing. Go tothe bar and purchase your drink and pay for it. Next go out into thecourtyard and purchase your steaks. At certain times we mayrequest that you delay grilling your steak to prevent crowding aroundthe grills. In that case you are free to back into the lounge for anotherdrink. After grilling your steak go over to the big hall. Also instead ofa buffet where you help yourself to bread, baked potato, and salad,there will be a bread and potato station where you will go to receivethese items and a salad station. In the case that the safe capacity ofthe main hall is exceeded, the Fr. Saylor Room will be opened. By

using the total dining capacity of our facility we hope toaccommodate the usual turnout of our Steak Cookouts withoutcompromising safe Social Distancing.In the meantime start whetting your carnivore appetite becausealthough the price of good cuts of meat has been skyrocketing

and its availability is scarce, Tony Lalli has worked very hard tosecure a supply of our famous strip steaks. And Joe Martinez hasinsisted that we hold the price this spring to $12.00. This makes theFr Saylor cookout the best steak deal in all of SE Michigan.Now, remembered it is six weeks from when we go to press (Feb22nd) and the cookout. A lot can happen in that time especially theface-to-face reopening of many schools on March 1st. We hope andpray that the trends of the past several weeks continues and that bythe time of the steak Cookout levels of transmission statewide aredown to those of mid-June. If there is a sharp outbreak associatedwith the restart of school and another lockdown is warranted we willput a cancelled banner on the sandwich board in front of the lounge.Hope to see you March 31st..Steak Cookout Committee, Tony Lalli, Chair
