Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina
Happy Birthday
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY for March
To all the Brother Knights & their wives married the month of March 2021
At this time, I would like to say,
“God Bless to you all, Vivat Jesus,”
GK Robert P. Lynch
My Brother Knights of Council 7232
I attended the District Meeting on February 13, 2021 and we discussed the follow-ing: two best Council Programs from Jan.1, 2020 thru Dec. 31, 2022 are to be sent into the State Council. I am working on that as we speak. We were told to continue in helping each other with membership recruitment ideas. Our Council should con-sider hosting a Blood Drive via “The Blood Connection” which pays for having a drive. We need to research this topic. Also in discussion was other Councils are per-mitted to have a drive thru fish fry. However, I expressed the point that our fish fry's were more for social gathering and not profit making.
Stations of the Cross are virtual this season. Please see the Parish website for more details. We need to make it known what it means to be a member of the Knights of Columbus. I am asking for more support for Family Prayer Night. Please consider joining us on the last Thursday of each month at 7pm. Remember that there is al-ways power through prayer.
Since we were not able to do the Operation LAMB (Tootsie Roll) distribution this year at Walmart due to Covid-19. Please consider taking a box or some Tootsie Rolls and distributing among friends & family with always stating that any dona-tion would greatly help those that are less fortunate due to being mentally
challenged. See Brother Troy Allen or myself to obtain a supply to distribute on your own.
We will be announcing our Brother of the month for January & February in the next news letter for April.
