Volume 104 No. 2 One Nation Under God – The Charity of Christ
Urges Us On February 2018
Dear Brother Knights, Sister Columbiettes, Families and
Friends,
We have made it through January and are looking forward to
warmer weather but things were certainly
moving along this past month. We cancelled our first meeting in
January due to the bad weather and I am
hoping we do not have to cancel anything else. We held polish
Night on January 27th and I would like to
thank all that helped Eddie and I in the planning including our
wives Rosemarie and Lisa who helped create
such beautiful centerpieces and baskets as well as my sister in
law Joanne and I would like to thank them
for their creativity. To all the people that donated baskets
including Pete and Marie Fife who gave us 3
baskets, Antonio’s catering for their beautiful basket , and to
my brothers Anthony , Vincent and John
Kuczinski for the baskets that they sent as well as anyone else
who donated a basket. At the time of writing
this message the party has not yet taken place so I do not have
all the other info but will make it up next
month. The right to life mass was held on Sunday, 01/21, and
keep in mind that this is part of what we do as
Knights and Columbiettes. The Night at the Races was another
huge success and we would like to extend
our thanks to all that helped especially Frank Corvino for his
hard work and dedication along with Ed, John,
Jim M and all others that were involved making it easier for us
to obtain the funds to donate where we need
to. Please check the bulletin for the upcoming events especially
the superbowl party and the St. Patricks
Dance both of which are in the bulletin. Have a great month and
stay warm.
Fraternally and Vivat Jesus,
Matthew V. Kuczinski Grand Knight

The Southern Knight February 2018
From the Chaplain’s Desk
First of all a very Happy and Healthy New Year 2018 full of
Joy and Peace to all brother Knights .I would like to focus my
New
year message John 13:34
A new commandment I give you -Love One another just as I
have
loved you. By this will all men know that you are my disciples
-If
you have love for one another .
The instruction to love one another as I have loved you was
given the Twelve at the last Supper immediately after the foot
-
washing, and needs to be understood in that context. It was
a
restatement of the great twofold Commandment to love God and
neighbor, but with a new twist that made Christian
love even more specific and challenging. Christ taught not
simply
by teaching, but by doing and then explaining what he did. He
had
just abased himself by washing their feet. The new teaching
after
the washing of feet is an example of the humble, self
-negating,
sacrificial love Christians are to offer one another.
As a brother knight we are people to achieve real unity in
the
way we think and feel , in the way we act and behave , in way
we
trust and relate to one another ,and the way we share all we
have ,
is the proof that we not only experience the presence of the
great
love among us at some point ,but also that
we continue to experience it, and share that loving presence
with
one another. Finally let us learn from the early Christians how
they
were united in prayer and sharing their goods for common good
of
their brothers and sisters. Let us follow our Lord Jesus Christ
in this
year 2018 who is the light of the world, and let us continuously
pray
for peace in our troubled world. God bless you all.
In the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
