HAVERHILL COUNCIL 202
Knight-Times
JANUARY, 2011
FROM THE DEACON:
My Brothers in Christ,
Happy New Year to everyone! With the new year and our entrance into Ordinary Time, we need to reaffirm our commitment to doing the work of God here on this Earth and going forward united in Fraternity to better our own lives through the betterment of those in need around us. The month of January brings us a full agenda with our Semi-Annual Audit, The Basketball Free-throw, The Holy Hour for Life, a commitment to Massachusetts Citizens for Life, and many more events that will further define our council for what it is: an invigorated group of Catholic Men in Communion with the Holy See.
Our council has seen unprecedented growth this past year and I expect it to continue into the future. It is a great feeling when we all gather together to enjoy each others’ company and celebrate our faith while living our lives in the name of Jesus Christ. This is exactly what happened during our Christmas Gathering at the Roma. There were about 40 Brother Knights, spouses, family, and friends who came. It was a wonderful time and the perfect opportunity to relax during a Holiday Season that sometimes brings frustration and stress as we feel ourselves pulled in so many different directions.
As we go forward, I encourage all of you to contact me or any one of our Brother Knights if you wish to get involved in our many planned activities over the course of the next few months.
In closing, I hope you all had a very spiritual and fulfilling Christmas Season. God Bless You All.
Yours in Christ,
Deacon Tom
