ST. MARTIN OF TOURS KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS COUNCIL 14162 NEWSLETTER DECEMBER 2014 FUTURE EVENTS: Grand Knight’s Korner December 2014 As we come to the end of the year I have a number of people I want to thank for a successful 2014. The largest group are the Knights, family and youth of our Parish that worked on all the events during our Fraternal year. Our most recent, was an example of how we can all come together and put on an event where we serve our Parish and all the Parishioners with a meal and a festive atmosphere to enjoy with other friends in our church family. We had 21 Knights, many youth and family plus some from Social action working on the Santa Breakfast handling setup, shopping, cooking and serving. We even received compliments on the clean up after the event. To all thank you. I want to say to all have a Merry Christmas! As you enjoy your family and friends at this time of year, let us remember we are celebrating the birth of Christ. Please be safe if you travel for the holiday. Vivat Jesus Tom Marino, GK a.
