Upcoming Council Virtual Meeting

As I mentioned in my email several days ago, we are set up for a Zoom online meeting for Council 14802 the evening of Monday April 13.  Log in information is at the end of this email.  Computer, smart phone or tablet will work.  Hopefully most of the officers and many council members will join in.  Two main topics of the meeting will be voting on new member admissions, and the online degree exemplification for the 2nd and 3rd Degree Knighthood. 

We have four potential new members from online who would like to join our council.  They are Kelvin Elledge, Brian Greig, Christopher Hudetz, and Raibin Raiphy.  They need our vote of approval to join the council to go through the degree exemplification being held online this Thursday April 16.  

We also have three current Council Brothers who will be going through the online exemplification to get their 3rd Degree Knighthood.  I encourage any of you who only have a 1st or 2nd Degree to take advantage of the Thursday online ceremony.  It's expected to last only about 30-45 minutes.  We can discuss details more tomorrow evening.

You will not need to have a Zoom account to actively join a Zoom meeting. If you are unfamiliar with Zoom I recommend that before the actual meeting you view, at a minimum, this 1 minute Zoom YouTube video on how to join a Zoom meeting.  It's pretty easy to do … even I can do it!

Prayer for the Pandemic

Get Involved News Hub Prayer for Protection in Time of Pandemic Prayer composed by Pope Francis seeks Our Lady’s Intercession 3/14/2020
 

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Baltimore Archbishop William E. Lori, the supreme chaplain of the Knights of Columbus, has asked his parishioners, members of the Knights and others to join in a novena invoking the intercession of Mary to aid the sick and all who are suffering due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In making his appeal, Archbishop Lori cited the prayer and the leadership of Pope Francis, who recently invoked Mary’s help under the special title of “Health of the Sick.” The Knights of Columbus has published the prayer said by Pope Francis and Archbishop Lori online, calling on members and Catholics to say the prayer over nine days as a novena beginning Sunday.

It especially prays “for those who have fallen ill, for those who are vulnerable and for those who have died.”

It adds: “Intercede also for those charged with protecting the health and safety of others and for those who are tending to the sick and seeking a cure.”

Supreme Knight Carl Anderson urged Knights to say this prayer in solidarity with the pope: “The Knights of Columbus has sponsored prayer campaigns at many important moments, including during World War II and after 9/11, because faith has always been central to the Knights. This prayer asks Our Lady to intercede for us with her son, as she did at the wedding feast at Cana, and it reflects our trust in her intercession with God and our reliance on Him in our lives.”

He explained that the Church’s response to the pandemic draws on its traditional confidence in both faith and reason, with reason dictating that Catholics should take the health precautions recommended by medical professionals and by science.

“At the same time, our faith makes clear that God is our all-powerful creator and that God is more powerful than any natural force, illness or economic setback,” Archbishop Lori said.

“Prayer has always been for Christ and his Church the most important response in times of adversity.”

He noted that the pandemic coincides with the liturgical season of Lent, which calls individuals to reconsider their relationships with God and neighbor, and calls on them “to take time for introspection and improvement of those relationships, and this seems particularly appropriate at this time.”

Knights are also urged to pray the prayer from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to Our Lady of Guadalupe, both during the Novena and in the days beyond.

A PRAYER FOR PROTECTION IN TIME OF PANDEMIC

O Mary, you always brighten our path as a sign of salvation and of hope.

We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the Cross, took part in Jesus’ pain while remaining steadfast in faith.

O loving Mother, you know what we need,

and we are confident you will provide for us as at Cana in Galilee.

Intercede for us with your Son Jesus, the Divine Physician, for those who have fallen ill, for those who are vulnerable,

and for those who have died.

Intercede also for those charged with protecting the health and safety of others and for those who are tending to the sick and seeking a cure. Help us, O Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father

and to do as we are told by Jesus, who took upon himself our

sufferings and carried our sorrows,

so as to lead us, through the Cross,

to the glory of the Resurrection. Amen.

Thank You for the Tables

The Sisters at Our Lady of Peace Retreat were very pleased to receive new tables at this years BBQ thanks to donations from councils like ours.  Combined, a total of 13 new tables were donated this year which allowed sent several other tables to a long overdue retirement.  The people working setup and cleanup were equally thankful for the lighter plastic tables to replace the aging wooden tables.
