Message from Supreme Knight

April 16, 2022

My brother Knights:

On this Holy Saturday, I want to share with you this inspiring video with the stirring words of a brother Knight, the Venerable Servant of God Fulton J. Sheen: “How can we celebrate Easter in a world that is like a Good Friday?”


The past two years, and especially the past two months, have certainly felt like Good Friday as our world has grappled with the devastating COVID-19 pandemic and watched with horror the atrocities unfolding amid Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Yes, there can be no doubt that “evil has its hour.”

But evil does not have the last word. And I am immensely proud that Knights of Columbus never sit silently in the face of evil. Knights always answer evil — in prayer and in action. We saw that when Knights resolved to leave no neighbor behind, reaching out to those in need during the pandemic. This Holy Week, I have seen it firsthand, visiting Knights in Poland and Ukraine who are working heroically to provide relief to refugees and families displaced by the war.


On Monday, April 11, I had the opportunity to meet with Pope Francis and discuss the good work being done by Knights of Columbus in response to the war. I also presented to him an Easter basket, representative of the 10,000 Easter care packages that have been assembled by Polish Knights and delivered to the suffering people of Ukraine to help them celebrate Easter. The Holy Father was moved by this expression of Christian charity and by all the good works made possible by the Order’s Ukraine Solidarity Fund. At the conclusion of the audience, Pope Francis emphatically expressed his appreciation, saying “Go on! Go on! Go on!” while making a gesture of a heart open to others.

My brother Knights, the Holy Father’s message to “Go on!” with an open heart is as much for you as it is for me. And “Go on!” we will, undeterred by the spiritual battle which rages around us and our families. “Evil has its hour — but God will have His day!”

On behalf of all the Supreme Officers with whom I am privileged to serve and lead the Order, I wish you and your loved ones every grace and blessing this Easter. Let us rejoice in our Risen Savior, and renew our commitment to radiate His love into a world more in need of it than ever.

Fraternally,

Patrick E. Kelly

Happy Easter


 

Bed project Saturday April 16th

Added information on the bed build Saturday.  

If Raining, the bed build will be at Temple Baptist Church.  ( bus barn).


To donate or apply for a bed go to:



"In service to one, in service to all."

This has been the motto of the Knights of Columbus. It simply means that Knights take seriously the two great commandments of Jesus Christ: to love God with our entire being, and to love our neighbor as ourselves (cf. Mt 22:37-40).

Here is a great opportunity to show up and help our neighbors.

At the last meeting Steve Morcus talked about a group here in Marshfield that builds beds for kids that dont have one. It is a great cause that we can help with. The group sets up build dates, one of which is coming up this Saturday 4/16 at 1pm-4pm. I would love to see all of us knights show up and help, let's live up to our motto.  



I copied this from a Facebook post about this opportunity.

Hey friends, this Saturday at 1pm, Sleep in Heavenly Peace will be building beds for local children that don’t have one of their own.  You may wonder if there are a lot of children that don’t have their own bed.  Well, since summer we have delivered over 100 beds in our area and the list continues to grow.  

We are critically low on beds and have to build more.  It takes a large number of volunteers to build the beds, but not any special skills.  If you can follow instructions, hold a sander or a hammer, or carry a board, this is your chance to get involved and help out some children in need.

The more people we have, the more beds we can build.  Plan for 1 - 4 pm on Saturday.  Stay for any or all.

Let me  know you can make it or just show up at Marshfield Assembly of God parking lot.  1528 W. Washington. Marshfield.

Hope to see you there.

Thank you

An opportunity for us as Knights to act as individuals and make a donation for the Ukraine refugees at Easter....

 

A New Opportunity to Support Ukraine this Easter 

Easter is almost here, and we are teaming up with brother Knights in Poland to assemble and distribute 10,000 Easter baskets—containing meat, pasta, chocolate, flowers and an Easter candle—to displaced Ukrainian families. 


A gift of $50 sponsors one of these Easter baskets and supports one family in their celebration of the Resurrection. That is why we are running a special, time-sensitive campaign to raise money to put these baskets together. 


This is a digital-only campaign, so please share this link and encourage your brother Knights to sponsor an Easter basket: donate.kofccharities.org/Easter

 

*Please Note: Donations already made to the Ukraine Solidarity Fund cannot be repurposed for this campaign. Councils may claim program credit for contributing to both the Ukraine Solidarity Fund and the Easter basket campaign. For questions, please contact fraternalmission@kofc.org or 203-752-4270.
