GK Remarks - I was not a knight a year ago- so quick rise, I will be a benevolent leader.  Vision for our Knights- we are men of God.  It is good to hear men pray together.  I was at the seminary, and I was thinking that men praying together is very powerful.

In a conversation about a month and a half ago, talking to a Dad, the Parent's group is fellowship without the churchy stuff.  As Knights we have the churchy stuff, we are known as men of God.

The second is that we serve the Lord as Knights- in service to the Church and in defense of the Knights.  Read the magazine- you will see how we are servants of the church.

The Third is we are in Defense of the Faith.  The faith is under attack wherever we see.  We are not partisan- we agree with both and disagree with both.  My vision is to have us seen as Knights boldly in our community- in the fullness of being Catholic.

I liken it to ordination.  We are not the only servants, but we lead and we call everybody else into that.

Please get in your service hours by the 10th.  Every good Catholic needs to do service.  We need to be generous, we need to study, we need to be involved in Liturgical Ministries.  People need to see us there at Mass- we need to be involved in the service activities in our Church.  We need to build up the community.  If anybody has problems with the form, contact Ted Seeber for Tech Support.
