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

One man making a difference for the troops
HearYeFrom The NetBy Knight Blogger on11/25/2008 11:42 AM

This is from an email that must have been circulating a while. It's a piece from ABC News back in Feb 2007 called "Person of the Week". They spotlighted Bert Brady, who tells a heartwarming story of support of our troops. You can read the interview here and

Just Look
HearYeFrom The NetBy Knight Blogger on10/29/2008 2:40 PM

Cardinal Egan, of New York, had published a very thought provoking article regarding the beginning of life debate. From his letter:

"If there is a time when something less than a human being in a mother morphs into a human being, it is not a time that anyone has ever been able to identify, though many have made guesses. However, guesses are of no help. A man with a shotgun who decides to shoot a being that he believes may be a human being is properly hauled ...

Are You Ready?

Are you prepared for the headlines Nov. 5?

“Abortion Issue Irrelevant” 
“Values Voters Stay Home”
“Culture War Lost”

We can’t let this happen. Less than two weeks from today, Americans will go to the polls to vote in perhaps the most important election of our lifetime. So much is at stake. We simply cannot afford to sit on the sidelines at this 11 ...

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.

The ad features the sound of an unborn baby’s heartbeat at 10 weeks, and the voice of a woman saying, “Listening to this makes me wonder – why would anyone question that her life has begun?”  It concl ...

 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.
