This Saturday (April 20,2019) our Council will be hosting the annual Easter Egg Hunt at the Marsh Drive Church. Brother Mike could use help hiding the eggs on Saturday Morning at 10:00 am. The actual Egg Hunt will begin at 1:00pm.
This Saturday is also our Project Share Distribution day from 8:30-11:00. Please consider helping at one of these events. Vivat Jesus Jay Raines Grand Knight Council 4057 What is your biggest asset?
Some of you may say it’s your home. Others who own a business may say that’s their biggest asset. There may be some who have saved well and put aside a substantial amount of money for retirement in a fund like an IRA or a 401K. But I would suggest that your earning power is your most valuable asset. Consider this: a 35-year-old who makes $50,000 a year will earn $1.5 million dollars before retirement at age 65. That’s quite a sum, but consider this: with only a 3% increase in pay each year, that figure grows to nearly 2.5 million dollars before retirement! But…you say, that’s all well and good, what are the chances I’m going to become disabled and unable to work? According to United States government statistics a staggering 1 in 4, yes, 25%, of 20-year-olds will become disabled before reaching age 67. And according to the Social Security Administration, 95% of those disabilities happen outside the workplace…so worker’s compensation will not pay.* Some companies generously give disability benefits to their employees. If you are one of those lucky ones…congratulations! Now the question is…how long are those benefits payable and how much of your income is covered and how much of that benefit is taxable? Seven of 10 Americans say they would feel a financial pinch in a month or less without their paycheck.** Fortunately, I can help sort out all these issues. The Knights of Columbus offers a flexible disability income insurance policy. It can be tailored to supplement what you currently have through work or it can stand alone to safeguard your paycheck and provide protection against catastrophe. I can help you design a plan with the right monthly benefit, the right benefit period, and all the other variables that go into customizing a plan that is right for you and your family. And our policy pays benefits regardless of whether or not the disability is work related. So what if your last paycheck was your last paycheck? Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen by scheduling a time meet and review your specific situation. I know the time will be well spent.

I hope that this Lent has been a productive time of reflection and growth for you and your families. as we prepare ourselves to celebrate the Easter Triduum, the summit of our Liturgical year. During these Holy Days let us spend time and reflect on God's plan of redemption for the fallen human race through the Passion, death, and resurrection of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. I invite each and everyone of you along with your families to attend all of the Triduum services: Wednesday's Tenebrae service at 7:00 at Marsh Drive, Holy Thursday at 7:00 pm at the Marsh Drive Church, Good Friday at 3:00 and again at 7:00 at the Marsh Drive Church, the Easter Vigil Mass at 8:00 pm and Easter Sunday Mass at 8:00 (Shrine Church), 9:00, 9:15, 11:00, 11:15 at the Marsh Drive Church. On Good Friday the Knights of our Council will be attending the 3:00 pm service. Please plan on attending . On Tuesday April 23 we will be holding an Admission degree for several new members. Please make every attempt to be there to support your new Brother Knights. We also have need for two of three none speaking roles and could use your assistance in our efforts. The degree will take place in the Council Chambers at 7:30 pm. I wish all of you and your families all the Joy of the Easter season.

SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
