Grand Knight’s Message – Brother Knights, it is time for our Lenten Fish Feasts. I need as much help as possible to make this a successful fundraiser to help support our Seminarians. We will need people to serve food and bus tables. The Boy Scouts will not be able to help us on February 15^th as they will be taking part in a winter campout. Jennie Spinozzi has agreed to put together some baskets for a raffle IF WE GO OUT AND GET THE DONATIONS. If you know of someone with a business who can donate an item or a gift certificate, please ASK them. As Jennie says, “The hardest part is asking, it’s amazing what people are willing to do if you ASK them.” Check the advertisers in our Sunday bulletin, they may be able to help us. In the past, we’ve raffled baskets of cheer that included wine, liquors and crackers. Could you donate a bottle of your favorite? I need your support in this endeavor, please try and help out your Council. We will also be selling tickets for the Fish Feasts before and after Masses for the next few weeks. If you can help with the sales, please get in touch with me. I will also be available to pick up any donations you can gather or can bring them to the next meeting or give them to any of the Knights selling tickets at the Masses. Thank you and God Bless ------ G. K. John Kelly.

Fraternal Report – Kindly remember in your prayers those Brother Knights and their family members who are ill and/or recuperating at home or in the hospital especially Judy Tanzosh, wife of PGK Bill Tanzosh. Also, please continue to remember and pray for the souls of the deceased members and their families.
