Grand Knight’s Message – Happy Easter greetings to all my Brother Knights and your families. I look forward to seeing all of you at the April meeting. Don’t forget that’s when our pictures will be taken for the Holy family Parish anniversary program.

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.

Anyone knowing of a member of this council or a council member’s family who is sick or in need of assistance should contact any council officer.

 Knights of Columbus Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 PM in Holy Family Parish’s Wortman Center. All members are encouraged to attend. After each meeting there is an opportunity for excellent refreshments and fellowship with your brother Knights. Plan to stop in and check it out next month. Also remember that, if conditions are such that you are unable to attend meetings, you can still aid the council by volunteering to participate in any of the various activities which the council conducts. We need you!
