I hope everyone had a splendid Thanksgiving holiday. We now begin a period of preparation as we await the coming of Christmas.

I would like to thank all those Knights, especially the members of the Fourth Degree, for their participation in the Knight's Mass and Centennial Celebration last month. Our council is truly blessed to receive such strong support from our parishes.

We begin the Advent season remembering what is most important to us and our families - keeping the true meaning of Christmas foremost in our minds. Throughout this Christmas season, the students of St. Cecilia's School and Religious Education will dispay posters in the back of Church that depict the true meaning of Christ in Christmas. Please take time this Advent to stop and admire the creative beauty dispayed in the art of our children.

Yours in Christ, Terry
