Meeting change

The place for our meeting next month will be upstairs since we have a chance to rent the downstairs for the night. Plan to arrive by 7:00 and participate in the recital of the Rosary. Meeting will start about 7:30 PM.

Daffodils

Due to the Spring Break, the Daffodil days will be March 26th and March 29th. The reason is there are many deliveries to the schools which would not be in session at the normal time. Please volunteer to deliver the daffodils and collect the money.

Dues

We have 51 members who haven’t yet paid their yearly dues. Please include the $2.00 Culture of Life assessment from Supreme to your dues for a total of $38.00. Deadline for getting the Gibault Raffle tickets to me will be the end of this month so get them in as quickly as possible.

End of the Month Meals

Your next opportunity to help with this activity is March 27th from the Salvation Army kitchen.
For further information on your volunteering for this pleasant activity of Charity, contact David Craft, 273-5664.

State Hospital Visit

March 24th, we will again be distributing hot dogs, playing cards with them, and entertaining the patients at the Madison State Hospital. We’ve been doing this for more than 25 years. If you wish to volunteer for this activity, call Paul Bird at 265-3056, he will be glad to help you by giving further details.

Fri. Meals

     The fish fries for Lent have been spoken for.
19th—Choir,
26th—French Club
April 2–French Club.
     The booster club had the March 12th.
     Now we are looking for others to step up for the remaining Fridays of the year. It will be a good fundraiser for you. You do not have to do it on a monthly basis, you can set the times. So far, it seems to be working out well. We commend our leadership in allowing this fundraising by other organizations. Until then watch the sign for our future meals as we get the cooks to do it.

Holy Thursday Adoration

Once again, we will be taking the final hour of the Holy Thursday Adoration. Plan to arrive at 11:00 PM. Watch the bulletin for details.

Greeters

At the 8:00 Mass March 28th we will supply the Greeters for the Mass. We applaud Richard Williams, Paul Sommer, Charles Torline, John Kalb for volunteering for this service.

Pray

Pray for the return to health of; John Lee, Larry Wykoff, Jim McKenna, Rick Burress, Tom Woodburn, Mike Dattilo, Charly Peters, Jim Koehler, Dr. Stucker, and Sister Alice Marie. Please pray for the well-being of all those who are serving in the Armed Forces, and for our boys and girls in the Gibault Home.

Stations of the Cross

We will be doing this devotion during Lent. Watch the bulletin for details.
The Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will continue on Wednesday, 5:00 PM-8:00 PM at St. Patrick’s. The Council is committed to being at the 3rd Wednesday Adoration.

Major Degrees

April 11, North Vernon will host the Major Degrees in the gym at the church. Tentative plans are for any candidates for 1st degree meet at the downstairs entrance of the council to organize a car pool to leave at 9:45. Major degree candidates will meet at 10:45 for an 11:00 departure. This is your chance for the 1st degree members to receive the advanced degrees.

Clergy Appreciation

June 8th there will be a dinner for our Clergy, priests and deacons, at North Vernon Parish Center. It is being organized by the Fr. Rivet 4th Degree Assembly. Our Prince Of Peace Assembly will be assisting with an honor guard.

Spring is a time for renewal.

     Trees and plants will soon be blooming, and many animals will shake off the cold and become active again. As the winter doldrums end, you’ll be ready to get outside with your family, too, and be part of this renewal.
     It is also a perfect opportunity to take a few moments to consider your goals and what’s important to you and your loved ones. Are you planning to welcome a new child or sending one to college? Are you looking forward to retirement? Will you have enough money to accomplish these goals? What would happen if something happened to you?
     Whether or not you have life insurance with the Order, I’ll be happy to meet with you and examine how you can meet your needs and goals. If you’ve had any life changes since you last bought a policy (new home, new child, new job, etc.), chances are your life insurance needs to be updated. Maybe an annuity or long-term care plan appeals to your situation. Whatever the case, I’ll work with you to make sure you have the coverage you need at a price you can afford.
     When we meet, you’ll discover that the time we spend together will be a commitment to your future and your family’s well-being. Let’s get together soon to renew your financial goals with the stable backing of the Knights of Columbus.
     I’m at 812-496-LIFE (496-5433) or Rob.Ernst@kofc.org. Call me – let’s talk. I look forward to meeting with you.

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 servant Fr. Michael J. McGivney on earth according to the design of Your Holy Will. Through his Intercession, grant the request I now make (mention your request.) Through Christ, our Lord, Amen.
     Continue with and finish the prayer with an Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be.
