Introduction

Greetings St. Mary’s Parishioners,

My name is Andy Milam.  I am a Trustee with Council #8592 St. Mary’s Knights of Columbus.   The Knights will be posting to the bulletin regularly about various activities and events coming up, as well as some history and spirituality of the Knights of Columbus.  I hope that you will find the posts to be informative, entertaining and educational.

The motto of the Knights of Columbus is “In Service to One, In Service to All.”  That really does embody what the Knights are all about.  We are charged with serving the parish of St. Mary’s, but we are also charged with serving Holy Mother Church.  We accomplish this in a number of ways, most visibly through our service efforts as well as our participation in life of the parish, both fiscally and spiritually.

We can’t do this alone though.  We need men who are willing to join the Knights and keep our membership growing.   It may sound a little strange to hear this, but it is not an overbearing commitment, but it is one of the most important commitments a Catholic layman can make.  In no other way can a Catholic layman promote Catholic values and Catholic virtue in a more visible way.  Please consider joining the Knights of Columbus.  You can talk to any Knight and they will be able to help you with information.

Over the next weeks, I will be posting on the history, the example and the spirituality of the Knights.  We are here to serve you and we are here to serve Holy Mother Church.  May God Keep you close.
