My Brother Knights and Their Families:

Happy spring….

A special Thank You to Jason Colflesh for his hard work on the St Patrick’s Day Dinner

Dance. We had a good turnout, and it was a lot of fun….

It was great to see the Greaseband back at the council hall……well-attended and a whole

bunch of fun….Thank you to Rick Terroni and Bob Barson for bringing them back to Mater

Dei Hall.

We have a few events this month. Please refer to the Observer for dates and times.

GRAND KNIGHT’S REPORT

Bill Carano

As I write this it is 15 degrees outside, and everything is

covered in a white blanket of snow. I hope by the time you

are reading this the white snow has melted into the bright

colors of spring and that the sacrifices of our Lenten

journey have “melted” into the joy of Easter!

Easter is the high point of the liturgical year, and in our lives as believers we are an Easter people. We

remember and celebrate the empty tomb and rejoice that one day our tombs will be empty as well. The season

of spring, with new life budding forth, reminds us of the new life we live in Christ thanks to his passion,

death, and resurrection. Let us all try our best to live the joy of Easter throughout the season of Easter and

every day, and to share that joy with all we encounter.

God Bless and Happy Easter

CHAPLAIN CORNER
