My  Brother Knights I learned today that Sir Knight Carlo Della Mea a member of the York Council went home to the Lord yesterday. His was the Father-in-Law to Bill King and Grand Father to Mathew King both members of our council. I have no word as to the arrangements at this time.

Sad Note

My fellow Brothers I learned this afternoon that Brother Joe McNamara' wife Dorothy (Dot) went home to the Lord yesterday. The only arrangements I know of is that her funeral mass is scheduled for Friday. May the Lord welcome her into his kingdom and bring peace to her family.

Corporate Communion

My fellow Brothers I am encouraging all of you and your families to attend this Sunday's Corporate Communion at the 10:30 Mass. Father will be blessing the new Chalices and Ciboriums the Knights purchased through your efforts selling the Attractions Book at this Mass and will be used for the first time.

Hope to see you all there.

Thank you,

Fwd: Prayers for Anne Marie Paloucek

Call to Prayers:

I received this request from one of our New Knights. He sent it 12 days ago and I apologize to him for the delay in responding due to being out of town. However; I know that prayers for the repose of the soul of Anne Maire and for her family are still needed. It is extremely hard for a family to lose a loved one, more so during the holiday season, So please take a moment and say a prayer for this family that the Good Lord welcomes Anne Marie home and brings peace and consolation to her husband and children.

Thank you Brothers,

Joe Geraci, GK

Dear Joe,
I am a new Knight and still relatively new to Rock Hill.  Last evening my brothers best friend lost his wife to cancer. They are an exemplary Catholic family living in Wisconsin, and she leaves behind six children ranging in age from 15 to 5 years old. Her name is Anne Marie Paloucek.  I am asking for an urgent prayer request for this family in their critical time of need. May Jesus, Mary, and Joseph hold them firmly in their hands and guide them through this time of immense sorrow. Thank you ever so much.
Your Fellow Knight, Gary Gross
