Election year has arrived! I remind you of your responsibility to understand the issues, understand the Catholic response, and to know which candidates best emulate that Catholic response - then educate your friends and family – then Vote!
Speaking of elections – April is nominations month. Have you thought about how the Lord is calling you to lead? This is an exciting time in our council’s history with the enormous growth of young Catholic families, resurgence in faith-filled traditions, and a strong and vital parish infrastructure. Very fertile ground to hone your leadership skills and answer the call. Remember that the best officer position in the Knights of Columbus is said to be “Past Grand Knight”! Like the 2nd and 3rd Degrees, an officer position in your council should not be considered optional.
We can honestly say our lives have been blessed by you all and all the Knights we have met. Setting the pace and agenda for like-minded, values oriented, self-directed gentlemen is invigorating and energizing. An officer’s position is an easy way to satisfy our duty as Catholics to constantly evangelize.
Positions opening this year are: GK, DGK, Treasurer, Financial Secretary, Advocate, Recorder, Chancellor, Warden, Inside Guards 1&2, Lecturer. Detailed descriptions of these positions are available on request, and our Lecturer will be providing brief summaries of these positions at the next several meetings.
The first principal of our order is Charity. Being charitable with your gifts of time and talent is the selfless example we Knights are expected to be. What’s your position?
Please pray for our next leaders!
Vivat Jesus,
Jeff
