============================================================================================================

:

Brothers,

In considering the past month, I am grateful for having had the opportunity to attend the

March for Life in Washington, D.C. I was inspired by the large groups of very exuberant high

school and college students marching, and cheering the entire way. I came away with a feeling

of hope for the future. Not just the future of the pro-life movement, but the future of the

world in general. Take heart; your good works are not in vain, and you are not alone.

Vivat Jesus,

Brother Rich

Missing Knights

Brother Knights If you haven’t been to a meeting or participated in one of our activities in a while, the new Fraternal year has started. This might be a perfect time to get back into the swing of things and plan and help

out with all the things scheduled for the new Fraternal year. The meetings are the first Thursday of the month and the social meetings are the third Thursday of the month. Both are at 7:30 PM

You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.

THE MCGIVNEY PRAYER:

God, our Father, protector of the poor and defender of the widow and orphan, you called your priest,

Father Michael J. McGivney, to be an apostle of Christian Family life and to lead the young to the generous

service of their neighbor. Through the example of his life and virtue may we follow your Son, Jesus Christ,

more closely, fulfilling his commandment of charity and building up his Body which is the Church. Let the

inspiration of your servant prompt us to greater confidence in your love so that we may continue His work

of caring for the needy and the outcast. We humbly ask that you glorify your venerable servant Father

Michael J. McGivney on earth according to the design of your holy will. Through his intercession, grant the

favor I now present (here make your request). Through Christ our Lord. Amen

Vivat Jesus! Michael Arment and Ray Burkett

Rich Spencer, GK There are 3 children scheduled for Baptism on Feb 16th.

Words to Live By

The Kingdom of God is at hand

Repent and Believe in the Gospel. These are the simple words from the Gospel. It is fitting that

Jesus begins His earthly ministry with this powerful message after the Spirit descended upon

Him at His Baptism. He asks us to believe in the Gospel and embrace its message of humble

service and discipleship.

Worthies All, As you all are aware the Installation of the new Archbishop of Philadelphia, Nelson Perez is being held on Tuesday, February 18th. The Mass will start at 2:00 PM. This is an all hands on deck event. Any Color Corpsmen with the new uniform and regalia(Beret, Service Baldric, Sword and Gloves) are asked to attend. Fr. Gill wants a STRONG Color Corps presence. I expect all of my District Marshals from the Philadelphia area to attend. The muster time is 12:30 PM SHARP! We will gather in the Chapel Hall, which is located in the basement of the Chapel. We are not able to use the Chapel itself as it will be for Clergy only. We will line up for the procession outside at 1:15 PM. At 1:30 PM all Corpsmen should be ready to process. The procession will start promptly at 1:40 PM. We will not have any parking at the Cathedral available to us, so plan accordingly. Supreme Knight Karl Anderson will most likely be attending, as well as other Knights of Columbus officers. We need to be at our best for this event. I am also guessing that it will be televised or taped, so we have to look our best. We also have been asked to provide transportation for approximately 12 clergy from the airport and 30th Street station. Mark Dusing will coordinating this request. If you or anyone you know is willing, please contact Mark. I look forward to a strong turnout and thank you in advance for your support. Fraternally and Patriotically yours, Sean M. Connelly, Sr. Sean M. Connelly, Sr., District Master Calvert Province Pennsylvania East District

Some did Thursday Evening , some did Friday morning, some did both, all did a great job. The Honor Guard was able to work with Honor Guards from the Bensalem and Middletown Police departments to ensure that there was always an Honor Guard in place around the casket.

On Monday evening January 13th and Tuesday January 14th , viewings were held for S.K. John J. Lee of Raymond V. Henessy council. Because of the extremely short notice received, no one was able to attend the viewing on the 13th at the Campbell and Thomas funeral home in Richboro, PA. However, Fred May and Ron De Luca were ale to stand Chalice guard on January 14th at St. Vincent De Paul church in Richboro, PA.

EVERY time our Church has had a need, our Brother Knights have responded. Right now, our Faith is under attack like it has never been and the Church needs its most faithful members to stand up and share its message of God's love with the world. The Knights are partnering with “Prayers Unite the World” to do just that. Begun by a Brother Knight, “Prayers Unite the World” is a website where people can request prayers and then learn about many of the Religious communities and Catholic organizations from around the world. We need to build an army of men who would be willing to share the Faith through the power of prayer. You do not need to explain the Faith. You simply live the Faith and let people know that God and his loving Church are with them. All through the power of prayer. It only takes five minutes of time and it doesn't cost a dime.
