Brother Knights,
On a recent episode of the gameshow “Jeopardy”, all 3 contestants could not fill in this blank, “Matthew 6:9 says, Our Father, who art in heaven, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ be thy name”. Fans were shocked at their lack of knowledge of the most common Christian prayer. Unfortunately, it shows where a majority of our country is at in relation to religion. Brothers, we have a lot of evangelizing to do. Quick update on my health. My broken arm is on the mend. I no longer need to wear the sling, and most days I only take a few Advil for pain management. With some effort, I’m able to do all of the personal hygiene activities that we all take for granted. I’ve been in PT for a few weeks now and I’m making good progress. I’m amazed at how limited the motion in my right arm is. I still can’t raise my arm more than 20 degrees. My therapist says to expect about 3 months for full motion. I wanted to thank my brothers for all the help and prayers that have been provided. You are truly my “Texas Family”! Finally, June and July are lower activity months regarding Knight activities. For those that attended the June meeting, we have elected a full slate of officers for the 2023/24 Fraternal year. 3 officers have moved on and we gained 3 new ones. On July 30, the Knights have been asked to participate in “Welcome Sunday” following the 7:30 am, 9:30 am, 11:30 am and 1:30 pm Masses. Please volunteer to help speak with the parishioners and to ask men about joining the Knights. Also, we have our largest fundraiser, “Casino Night”, coming up on August 19th. This event can only be successful if we get a huge quantity of Knights to volunteer their time. Please, please, please consider donating your time, talent and treasure to this event. I guarantee that you will get more out of working this event than the people you are serving. We urgently need more Brother Knights to help obtain gifts and donations in support of the silent and live auctions. Please look for an email from me that will provide more details. Thanks and God Bless,
