K of C Council 103
and
Habitat for Humanity
Through
the ongoing efforts of local Knights, our
council continues to exemplify the Knights' spirit of community volunteerism
by
supporting local Habitat for Humanity projects.
We will be organizing another outing soon. If you
would like to participate in a cause that serves both our Church and
our Community, please do not hesitate to join
in.
Don't feel you can't contribute to this noteworthy endeavor because you never
or rarely participate in K of C functions, or
because you're not a professional tradesman. - Your involvement is both welcomed and wanted!!
Your Brother Knights will make you comfortable
in helping the Knights help others.
Phone Grand Knight Jack
Laviolette
at
442-3527 to answer this calling for your
services and sign up for our next
Habitat for Humanity work outing!
You'll always have something more valuable to give than
money.

District
& State News
-from
District Deputy John E. Seaver
I was asked as the DD to write some "words of wisdom"
for the website. I don't think I have much wisdom, but I
will share what little I have. Before I rise, I start
my prayers for the day. Usually, I begin with my rosary,
but depending on the time, I may recite the Angelus..
After my shower, I kneel before Our God to remind myself
of my proper place before Him and ask Him to help me
through the day. After I dress and as I walk toward the
kitchen, I pray over my wife and each of my five
children and their families. I then stand for a moment
and ask Our King to make me a worthy Knight this day.
For I believe, this is the beginning of what it means to
be a Knight and I wonder if I fully answered the call
that He gave me. If I didn't then it is time to try
again. (That happens often.)
Keep
checking this spot for the latest District/State News
and Information from DD John E Seaver.

Chaplain's Comments
-by Father Peter
Gregory
As witnesses to the Christian way of life we gather to worship and
we raise the Scriptures before us to proclaim, “This is the Word
of the Lord”! These words spoken in a prayerful setting
fit so naturally yet, in the common experiences of life we need
to reflect on God’s Word and our own words. How does God
challenge us daily to unite our words with “the Word of the
Lord”? ....Read
