MESSAGE FROM STATE DEPUTY

Fellow Brother Knights,

WE MUST TEACH THEM.

     We must teach them. First and foremost, we must embrace our youth. With so many Catholic schools closed and many others on life support, someone must pick up the mantel of enlightenment. It is important, NO! It is imperative that we by our actions, by our words and by our deeds must be the guiding light and:

WE MUST TEACH THEM

We must teach them. This is the group I call one from column A and the other column B Catholics. These are the Catholics who choose what they want to believe in and what values to follow. You see them twice a year, Christmas and Easter, (maybe an occasional funeral). We as Catholics use the statement "We practice our Religion" by living out our religion daily and attending mass every weekend. We know when the Holy Days occur, and we know that Starbucks coffee is consumed in the car, not in the pews.

WE MUST TEACH THEM

     We must teach them; Christians. There are a lot of wonderful people who believe in God and in Christ. But What makes Catholics so special. If I may use an analogy here. I believe that Christianity is like the United States Military. There are a lot of good men and women in our armed forces. But I believe that Catholics are the Marines of Christianity, and that the Knights of Columbus is its special forces.

HURRAH - HAIL MARY,

Eugene M. Dzielak, State Deputy
