My Brother Knights:
Brothers we are moving toward lent and we should start to think about what kind of sacrifice
and Penance we are going to offer up for lent. We will be having are Lenten fish fries every Friday
during Lent. It is a lot of work and Joe needs help in the kitchen, mainly to help with clean
up after it’s over so please volunteer. We are serving a new fish to see how you like it.
We had a discussion about the use of the hall at the meeting last night and should we have
a set fee are continue with tell them to make donation and should we have a clean up deposit.
More on this subject later. I want to thank the guys that helped clean the kitchen on Jan. 23rd—
Joe Hargrove, Hugh Riley, Jeff Larkin, John Newsom, and yours truly. We gave the kitchen a
good old G.I. cleaning.
There will be a First Degree on Feb. 21st in the hall candidates are there at 6pm for orientation
the degree will start at 7pm sharp. Please ask a friend are relative if they would consider
joining the knights.
First Friday is this Friday Feb 5th Mass at 6 PM with fish fry to follow.
Eddie Clark and the Officers of council 925.
Vivat Jesus!

From our Chaplin and Faithful Friar
“FEBRUARY IS FOR LOVERS !”
Think in the Christian sense of love. Soon we will be celebrating St. Valentine’s Day on
February 14th. This is a great opportunity to show your love and appreciation to your wife or husband,
to your children and grandchildren, to your parents, to any and all special people in your
life. We freely and openly give love to those who share a special part of our lives and rightly so.
But let us not forget that God tells us that we must love everyone, not just those who love us.
We are going through a very tough, protracted recession and times are very difficult for many of
our brothers and sisters in Christ. Please remember to share your love and blessings with them
also this month.
On February 17th, only three days after Valentine’s Day, we celebrate Ash Wednesday
and the start of Lent. Lent is a special time of prayer, sacrifice, and almsgiving in preparation for
the highest and holiest day of our Church year…Easter! How will we show our love for God this
Lent? Two very positive thoughts immediately come to my mind. First is to attend daily Mass at
least once a week in addition to your Sunday “obligation”. Doesn’t our love for God demand
more than just the “bare bones” minimum? I know I ask for and expect more than just the minimum
love from God. Second is to attend one of the many Lenten Penance Services that are being
offered around the Macon Deanery in the coming weeks. We all sin and we hurt those we
love the most including God. The Sacrament of Reconciliation repairs and heals that damage to
each other and to our relationship with God. God lovingly offers us His mercy and forgiveness.
Don’t let pride or stubbornness stand in the way of receiving God’s love for you. Think about
how much you enjoy giving your love to others and how good it makes you feel. Receiving God’s
love and forgiveness will make you feel infinitely better!
