Grand Knight’s Report
 
“God - Family - Country”
 
Most of us survived Hurricane Irma with some power outage and some loose debris in the yard.  Many of us had trees fall on houses, flooding, spoiled food, etc.  I ask all those that need help and the normal process seems broke, please contact our Deputy Grand Knight (Mark Gregorio).  We can’t make any promises but we will see what we can do to help each other.
 
We had to cancel some events due to the storm so please look at our website for new dates. 
 
I had a very hardy laugh, which turned to sadness when I saw comments from people that said the Hurricanes hit Texas and Florida because those two states voted for President Trump.  I have to wonder about the storms Katrina and Sandy in states that voted for President Obama.  At least we now know that God is neither a Republican or a Democrat!
 
It is amazing how people tend to blame others for their own misfortune, even going as far as blaming God.  The “real” people deal with it, shake it off and move on.  The number of heroes we saw of people helping others was amazing and that is what gives us hope.  Like the one guy that was standing in line to pay for a generator and overhead someone in dire need of one, and gave it to them.  Or the folks that worked day after day voluntarily rescuing people.  Many of you helped your neighbors without being asked!  Now that is what we, Knights, are about!
 
So go out, help your neighbors and brothers.  If you can’t help physically or monetarily , then do what we do best as Knights, pray our Rosaries asking God to help everyone in this great time of need.
 
 
Vivat Jesus,
