A message from our
Grand Knight
Veterans Day, which always falls on November 11, is
a day to honor our Veterans. Few of us realize the
history behind the day. Armistice Day marked the
end of hostilities of World War I that occurred at the
11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month.
Therefore, this day is always recognized on
November 11, regardless of the day of the week the
11th falls on. This day was originally set aside to
honor the Veterans of World War I with a day of
parades and remembrances as well as a pause in
activities at 11am on that day. In 1938, it was made a
legal federal holiday for all. After World War II and
the Korean War, Congress saw a need to expand the
meaning of the day to recognize all of our Veterans
and not just those of World War I. In 1954, the word
“Armistice” was replaced with “Veteran” as a way to
formally include all Veterans of all American wars in
the day of remembrance. Veterans Day is not only a
Federal holiday, it is a day to remember those who
died in service to our country and to also remember
those that continue to service our country. Let us
Honor all of our Veterans by hanging our American
Flag proudly. We, as Americans, are encouraged to
say thank you to those who fulfill their patriotic duty
to maintain the freedoms of our country. We as
Knights are called to help those less fortunate or
those in need, to fight for them. That's exactly what
we do, whether it's Special Olympics, our
seminarians, food pantries, our shut-ins, our youth,
our un-born...As the Holidays are fast approaching,
Patty and I would like to wish you and your family a
Happy Thanksgiving and let us not forget our
Veterans who served our country proudly, nor those
who are less fortunate.
God Bless and Vivat Jesus. Greg Kirchmeier, GK

Novena for our Country
October 30-November 7th
In preparation for Election Day, the Knights of
Columbus is calling all its members and all the
faithful to join together in a novena to the Holy
Trinity through the maternal intercession of the
Immaculate Conception, patroness of the United
States. Join your brother Knights around the
nation for this novena on Sunday October 30th
and concluding on Monday November 7th. The
prayer for the novena is attached. Our country is
in desperate need of prayer. Please spread the
word to all your brother Knights and their
families, as well as our pastor and fellow
parishioners to pray this National Novena for the
protection, well-being and freedom of our
country.
