Brothers, next Friday, October 24th, I’ll be hosting Faith by Fireside. We had a great turnout last month, and if you haven’t joined us yet (or if it’s been a few months) it’s a great evening of talking about our faith—and strengthening our faith—while having some salty snacks and adult…
No Knights, no festival
Brothers, I hate to have to double-down on Seth’s email from this morning, but it’s really this simple: Without the Knights’ help, our parish festival won’t happen. Well, it will happen, but it won’t be successful. I don’t have firm statistics to support this, but my SWAG is that 30-40%…
