Worthy Brothers, 
 
  My brothers as another month goes by let us take time to remember Pope Francis and all he has done for the church. I have read some interesting stories about this Pope, and they make me believe I really did not know a lot about him. May he rest in peace.   
    We just wrapped up our 71st annual Knights of Columbus bowling tournament and a great time was had by all. I do not think either team did as good as we hoped but it was nice spending time with our KC family. Next year’s tournament is in Melbourne, Florida on April 25th and 26th and hopefully we can get a couple more teams to go to the bowling tourna ment.                      
    The Knights state convention is at the end of the month. I believe this is the first time in Jacksonville. It is an election year, and we have three offices to fill. To the best of my knowledge this the first time this has happened.    
   As we start a new year at the council level, I hope all our members will take a good look at how they can get more in volved with our church and council. They both need you. Hope to see you at a meeting or a council event.   Love each every one of you,  

Love each every one of you, 
Mary Mother of Jesus and Queen of the Knights pray for us.
