Help our council! Attend a benefits webinar

Worthy Brother Knights,

I wanted to double-check and make sure everyone was aware that every Wednesday at 7pm is an online Fraternal Benefit Event put on by our General Agent Cicero Seisdedos.

Website is here:

This is a great way to learn more information about the benefits the Knights of Columbus has to offer and will also count towards the Founder's Award. Just make sure to submit the Form 11077 within 7 days of the event as well.

Please share this information with your councils as they might want to attend as well. Reminder that State emails only go as far as GKs and FSs, not to all 9,500 members in the State. So please forward these emails to your council members.

Ted,

Could you post this? This may be the only way we are able to complete Fraternal Benefits requirement. Perhaps someone could call members, not sure Richard should be the one given his struggle with technology. 

I am going to try tonight and see if it registers participation. In any case have those who go through the seminar copy you, I, and or Gene. Make sure you advise this is an annual requirement.

St. Joseph Consecration – State Deputy Letter

Worthy Brother Knights,

I was spending some time in Adoration a month or so ago and something came to me in my mind

and heart: to lead a Statewide Consecration to St. Joseph. I believe this would be a very powerful

experience. I am very excited to share this with everyone!

Here are some details:

1. This is a 33 day preparation using the book by Fr. Donald Calloway (information below).

We&#39;ll begin on February 15th and make the Act of Consecration on March 19th, the Feast of St.

Joseph.

2. The readings will be predominantly on your own. It will consist of a 2 page daily section and

also refer you to some further reading. Some of the further reading sections can be a little longer,

so prepare for that.

3. We will have weekly conference calls on Thursdays at 7pm starting Feb 13th as an

introductory call. These weekly conference calls will consist of reading the daily section and

discussing the content from the past week. It will also help us hold each other accountable. If you

can&#39;t make every call, no worries. This call is meant to help us hold one another accountable and

provide support. Iron sharpens iron.

4. If you fall behind on the readings, no worries. You can still catch up and you can still attend

the calls, even if you&#39;re behind. My recommendation would be to focus on the 2 page daily

section at least and then do the extra reading when you can.

5. Any man is welcome to join, so pass this info on to your council members or anyone else you

can think of who would be interested.
