Well this will be my last report as membership
chairman. I told Burnie I feel I let myself and the
council down. If I can't give 100% then I feel I'm not
doing my job. I didn't do that this year. I ask ya'll
please help the next membership chairmen out so we
can get #1 in the state. If anyone helped me this year
I just want to say THANKS.

I hope you will continue to do your very best to
attend Holy Mass as often as possible into the

especially pray the ROSARY so maybe if enough

Congratulations to our seminarian Francis Offia on
being ordained in to the Diaconate. We want to pray
and wish him good luck in the next phase of his
journey to priesthood. Say a special prayer for our
Brothers Knights of our sick list for them to return to
good health. Also, pray for a lost soul to return to the
fold. Call me at the above phone number (leave

Family Social.
Deacon Francis Offia
Because of your Prayers and Support
In April 13, 2015 the CNA/EWTN News posted a
survey from the Center for Applied Research in the
Apostolate, based at Georgetown University, which
its finding shows that “the 595 men to be ordained in
2015 is an increase of about 25 percent from 2014,
when 477 men were ordained to the priesthood.”
Bishop Michael F. Burbidge of Raleigh, N.C. who
heads the U.S. bishops’ Committee on Clergy,
Consecrated Life and Vocations sees this increase in
ordination numbers as encouraging. In his words, “It
is encouraging to see the slight increase in the
number of ordinations this year in the United States.” I
attribute this good news to the collective effort of
everybody in the Church including you. I am grateful
to all of you who spent time and energy praying for
me and for all those who are in the vocation to the
priesthood. Many of you have offered Masses for me
and many too have encouraged me in different ways.
I tell you that God hears your prayers and He
answers them as well. God answers your prayers
with my Ordination to the Diaconate. He answers
your prayers with the increasing number of men who
will be ordained to the Priesthood throughout the
United States and across the world this year. I beg
you, DO NOT STOP PRAYING FOR VOCATIONS!
The Church is on the winning side – Deacon
Francis

As we close out this Columbian Year, We must keep
in mind that recruiting is a important part of every
council. In the incoming year the council needs to
attract new members. Remember one new member
per month per council.

Father McGivney was the eldest of 13 children born
to poor Irish immigrants. Only six of his siblings lived
to adulthood. At the end of the Civil War, he left
school and went to work in a spoon factory to help
support his family. When he was 16 he felt called to
the priesthood and headed for the College of St.
Hyacinthe in Quebec, Canada. He went on to study
at seminaries in Niagara Falls and Montreal, before
heading back home after his father died in 1875. He
reentered the seminary at St. Mary’s Baltimore in
1877 and was ordained four years later. His first
assignment was as pastor of St. Mary’s Church, New
Haven, Conn, in a working class Irish neighborhood.
He established CCD classes and an alcohol
abstinence society at the parish. His dream was to
create a fraternal Catholic organization to help the
needy and strengthen the faith of its members. Let’s
keep Fr. McGivney’s dream alive and promote the
Knight of Columbus whenever possible.
