Blessed Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

The officers of this council would like to wish everyone a very Happy, Healthy and Blessed Christmas!

In your prayers, please remember those who are having a difficult time in this economic crisis, folks that lost jobs, our service men and women that are separated from their families while protecting us; remember the sick and elderly that may be alone. Please reach out to these members of our community and give them something a special gift - your friendship!

If you are able to, please consider donating non-perishable food items to our food collection stations in the church. The needy rely on your thoughfulness and generousity.

 

"Loving God, Help us remember the birth of Jesus,
that we may share in the song of the angels,
the gladness of the shepherds,
and worship of the wise men.

Close the door of hate
and open the door of love all over the world.
Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting.
Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings,
and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.

May the Christmas morning make us happy to be thy children,
and Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts,
forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus' sake. Amen."

-- Robert Louis Stevenson

The Importance of the Catholic Vote - Part 2
HearYeFrom The NetBy Knight Blogger on9/29/2008 9:23 AM

When Knight Blogger posted the earlier blog entry about the importance of the Catholic vote, he didn't realize the video was part of a bigger picture. The video is from www.catholicvote.com.  Besides the video (a must see), the site has some excellent articles and posts to reflect on while contemplating your election day decision. Remember - Vote Pro-Life.


K of C 'Vote Pro-Life' Radio Ad Begins Running on U.S. Radio Stations
HearYeFrom The NetBy Knight Blogger on9/25/2008 2:44 PM

A 30-second radio spot encouraging people to “vote pro-life” in the November elections began running on radio stations around the United States Sept. 23  It will continue to air until the Nov. 4 election.

Knights of Columbus Insurance - Solid and Secure
HearYeFrom The NetBy Knight Blogger on9/23/2008 8:43 AM

One of the huge and important benefits of being a Knight, is the ability to participate in the K of C insurance program. It offers a substantial degree of financial peace of mind when planning for the future of the family. The recent business headlines are filled with questions about our country's financial markets and we've seen wild swings in the investment community. However, the Knights of Columbus insurance program remains solid and secure.

40 Days for Life
HearYeFrom The NetBy Knight Blogger on9/19/2008 11:37 AM

This fall, from September 24 - November 2, our community will be one of more than 170 cities in 45 states joining together for the largest and longest coordinated pro-life mobilization in history -- the 40 Days for Life campaign.  These days of prayer, fasting, vigils and community outreach are an effort to, with God's help, bring about the beginning of the end of abortion in our city.  To learn more, vis ...

Voter Registration
HearYeFrom The NetBy Knight Blogger on9/19/2008 11:26 AM

Voting is still one of the last things that is tax-free. It is everyone's right and is your best way to help shape the way you want to be governed. However, to vote in the November 4th election this year, you must be registered by October 6th. In addition, if you won't be able to go to your polling place to cast your ballot, you can vote using an absentee ballot. The deadline to apply for an absentee ballot is October 28th.

Fathers For Good
HearYeFrom The NetBy Knight Blogger on9/19/2008 11:18 AM

Just last month, the KofC launched a new initiative to "guide men in the great adventure of fatherhood and provide the resources, tools and encouragement they need to become the fathers they are meant to be". They help with the challenges facing fathers today, and talk about a father's relationship with God, their kids and their wife. This looks like a super site, so visit it for yourself (and your family) at:

HearYeFrom The NetBy Knight Blogger on9/10/2008 9:57 AM

Many of you know that the our council regularly holds blood donation events at St. Ann's.  However, the need for blood donors is constant and at present, our area supply is critically low.  You can call Miller-Keystone Blood Center directly to make an appointment at 800-223-6667, or visit them online at www.miller-keystone.org.  Their website has great information about donating, ...

 Double Star! Minimize

Double
Star
Council ...
Again!

Kudos to Council 12886 for achieving double star status for the second year in a row! Double Star is a very prestigeous award which rewards our efforts in recruiting, insurance membership and conducting parish/community programs. Last year, we were only one of fifteen councils in PA to reach that goal. This year the number of councils is smaller - only 12. There are over 500 councils in PA, so this is quite an achievement. This award is not only a reflection of the council, but a reflection of our parish, so we'd like to thank those men of our parish that wanted to enhance their lives by joining the Knights of Columbus. A very special thank you also goes out to their families for sharing their men with us for the greater good of the community of St. Ann's Parish.
