Grand Knight’s Message:

Happy New Year!
As we enter th2025 I want to take a moment to wish you and your loved ones a blessed and joyful year! May this year bring you abundant grace, peace, and strength as we continue to serve our community, uphold the values of our faith, and support one another as brothers in Christ. 

Thank you for your unwavering commitment and dedication to the Order and to those in need. At this time, I would ask you to please pray and keep Tamara Holadyk (daughter of brother Zenon) in your prayers as she is in the hospital in serious condition. Both Tamara and her family need our prayers at this time! We ask our Heavenly Father to provide Tamara with HIS healing touch, restoring her strength and health. Surround her family with comfort and care. We place this situation in your hands dear Lord. 

As you know the 40th Bishop's Dinner is less than 2 months away. Please let me know how many tickets you would like and I will let brother Ernie Bablak know. We will discuss at our January meeting to be held at St. Nicholas Church on Tuesday, January 14 at 7:00 p.m.

I look forward to another year of shared fellowship and meaningful service. 

Happy New Year, and may God bless you and your families abundantly in the coming year!
