December 26: Saint Stephen, the First Martyr

Heya everyone! So tomorrow was the original date for our L.U.F.C. event, buuuuuuuut the weather is looking fairly bad. As of now, AccuWeather has Tuesday listed as about 4" of snow, which in Lake Ariel terms, means anywhere from 2-12 inches. I emailed Father, and messaged a good handful of you all, and it seems that this Friday, at 6:00pm, following adoration (feel free to attend that, hint hint wink wink nudge nudge ) we will be doing our creche light up. There will be c

The Season of Advent Beloved, now is the acceptable time spoken of by the Spirit, the day of salvation, peace and reconciliation: the great season of Advent. This is the time eagerly awaited by the patriarchs and prophets, the time that holy Simeon rejoiced at last to see. This is the season that the Church has always celebrated with special solemnity. We too should always observe it with faith and love, offering praise and thanksgiving to the Father for the mercy and love he

“Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.” (Gospel for Dec. 7, Mt 3:10) In these reflections over the past year, we have meditated on the importance of our faith bearing fruit in good works. In a way, this Gospel passage, quoting St. John the Baptist, might seem out of place during Advent. But throughout this season, we reflect not only on Christ’s coming in the incarnation, b

Good morning worthy brothers:    After a discussion with our PGK, I would like to request that we have a very brief Officers meeting at 4:30, prior to our Christmas party (12/09/25).    Since I had to cancel our November meeting due to bad weather, we did not vote on our usual Christmas donations. Aside from that, there are a few bills to be paid.   I’m going to request that our Financial Secretary and Treasurer be present in order to write donation checks and pay bills.  Hop

Hello Brother Knights! (and other people potentially reading this) We’ve had a busy and successful stretch lately, and there’s plenty more coming up as we move into the holiday season. Here’s a quick look back — and a look ahead — at what’s happening with our council. Golf Outing: A Great Success! Our annual Golf Outing was a fantastic success, bringing in a profit of $3,248.48 for the council! A big thank-you and congratulations to Brother Kevin for stepping up and organiz

Saint Andrew Dũng-Lac and Companions Seventeenth–Nineteenth Centuries Patron Saints of Vietnam Canonized by Pope John Paul II June 19, 1988 Liturgical Color: Red Quote: I, Paul, in chains for the name of Christ, wish to relate to you the trials besetting me daily, in order that you may be inflamed with love for God and join with me in his praises, for his mercy is forever. The prison here is a true image of everlasting hell: to cruel tortures of every kind—shackles, iron chai

NOVEMBER 2025 “You will be hated by all because of my name, but not a hair on your head will be destroyed. By your perseverance you will secure your lives.” (Gospel for Nov. 16, Lk 21:17-19) Jesus promised his faithful disciples many things — that he will always be with us, that we will receive if we ask, and that he would give us rest. He also promised that we would be hated and that we would be persecuted for the sake of his name. We must persevere and remain faithful despi

Good afternoon worthy brothers:   Just a reminder that tomorrow is our first scheduled “joint” meeting at Father Scott Parish Center.    There will be an officers meeting at 5:30, followed by a social hour from 6-7 and our business meeting at 7.    Please make every attempt to join us. Hope to see you there. Bill Wagner, GK
