Council 3956 May Newsletter

To my fellow Brother Knights, friends and family,

God has a plan.
Life can face us with challenges we could not have expected and can be at times overwhelming. As PGK Bill Robert so eloquently expresses in his article this month. Deacon Chuck addresses “Winds of Change” is his message this month and DGK Dave Kudla in his letter to the editor expresses his thoughts of Fr. Suresh’s unexpected upcoming departure from our St. Pius x parish. Each article was written independent of the other, but the message is common…change is a part of life.

There is well a change to our monthly council meeting day and location. We are meeting this Tuesday, April 30th. Still beginning with social hour at 6:00 and business meeting at 7:00. Note that if the Social Hall is in use, we will meet in the school Activity Center.

I conclude my forward to this newsletter with a sentiment from our own SDRR Ray Bilyk, well deserved recipient of Family of the Month: I paraphrase…The challenges we face and the crosses that we bear are little compared to the sacrifice of his own life that Jesus Christ gave up for us and our salvation.

Happy Mothers Day to our moms. Remember them in thoughts and prayers. They were the first to love us.

Have a blessed month.

Peace,

Anthony (Tony) Chirco,
Newsletter Editor and proud Brother Knight
