Brothers & Sisters,
As we start the last month of this Columbian Year, we experience the business and tasks of being a
Brother Knight of Reilly Council.
First we celebrate the milestone of the Council’s Forty First Anniversary on June 5th, with a great
evening planned for this wonderful occasion. Plan to be there, don’t miss out. (See page 4, this issue.)
Then, catch your breath because of another fun evening, the very next week, June 13th at the East
Meadow Bowl. Brothers, Neil, Skip and PGK, Bruno have worked very hard planning for this evening. It is fun and has become an excellent fund raiser for our Council. (See Page 4, this issue)
Aside from our regular meetings, the last event is our Communion Breakfast on June 14th after the
8:00AM Mass at Sacred Heart Church. Bowling the night before will not be an acceptable excuse for
lateness at the Mass or the Communion Breakfast the very next morning.
The Mothers Day Carnation Sale was a whopping success. Not only did we bring in an excellent
amount of money for Birthright, we had a real nice turn out of Brothers to sell carnations. This alone
greatly added to the satisfaction of taking part in the task.
As always, Memorial Day was a great day for our visibility in our community. Many thanks for
those who were able to march on this important day.

Many thanks again to all of you who have taken part in our Council events and hopefully all will
continue to stay involved. Get involved if you have not, you will not believe how rewarding it can be.

Since this is the last Broadcast issue for this Columbian Year, I wish to thank all my Brother Knights.
(Next Issue Will Be In September). We have had a very successful year with our fund raisers and
Council activities in general. As your Grand Knight, I receive many thanks and congratulations for
being the “so called” leader of Reilly Council. No successes are achieved without the hard work of
our Officers, Committee Chairmen and the Brothers of the “Biggest Little Council On Long Island”.
Thank you for making me look good as your Grand Knight and may we continue to all look good
together.

CHAPLAIN’S
MESSAGE
Dear Brothers and Sisters;
Welcome to Summer and all this great season has to offer. Refresh rejoice - recharge - refocus. We are in Ordinary Time in our Church calendar, but our times
certainly not ordinary. June is a time of transition. The school year comes to a close and we
celebrate commencement, an end to this level of education and a beginning of the next phase
of life. As our children take on more adult responsibility, family adjustments need to be made.
All change causes stress, even as we rejoice each others success. It is even more important to
stay close to the Lord in prayer, scripture reading and sacraments. Significant life-changing
decisions are very often made over the summer. As we enjoy the many benefits of summer, may
we be guided be the loving presence and gifts of the Holy Spirit, particularly patience, fortitude
and trust in the Lord.
We also continue our focus on “Building the Domestic Church - The Family Fully Alive”. The
theme for this month is sharing our faith with other families. Our religion is often in the public
press and must be of importance in order to capture so much attention. It is up to us to present
the best examples that we can. Sharing our faith with neighbors is an effective way to enhance
a positive picture of Catholic life. We should be thankful to the Lord for who we are. There are
many complex issues that the world and our society, in particular, face each day. Our role in
this process is to be as positive a force as we can be. Let us do what we can - one step at a time one day at a time. May we bloom where we find ourselves. Let us put our best foot forward and
do what we can to improve life around us.
May you have a faith - filled joyous summer. May the Lord watch over you and your family
during your activities and travels. May you rest in the Lord and let His love guide you in your
decisions. Happy Summer.
