Hello SKs and Brothers,
Pentecost marks the end and the goal of the Easter season. For the Christians it is a memorial of the day the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles and the Virgin Mary in the form of fiery tongues, an event that took place 50 days after the resurrection of Jesus. Pentecost is the incarnation of the Holy Spirit into the world of men and women; it also commemorates the official inauguration of the Christian Church by the apostolic preaching of St. Peter, resulting in the conversion of 3,000 Jews to the Christian faith. Pentecost is thus the official birthday of the Church.
Vivat Jesus!

Hello SKs and Brothers,
As we come to a close of another Columbian Year, I wanted to express my sincere thank you for all the volunteer hours you have each put in, the support in person or remote and continued prayers for our Council.
With gratitude to SK Ricardo, he was able to coordinate a wonderful group together last Friday to assist our Chaplin in the moving of all the furniture on the top floor of the Rectory. Father Davy was so kind as to prepare a great dinner where we all sat to enjoy in food and brotherhood. Thank you to all the volunteers that day and special recognition to Monica, Monty, Reign and Gavin not shown in the photo attached.
Early reminder that next week is our Businesses Meeting which is Thursday. Doors open at 5:30pm, Dinner at 6pm and meeting at 7pm. Our Chaplin Fr Davy will be joining us and our Worthy Field Agent Greg Bronson is also hoping to make the evening with us as well and possibly our District Deputy Mike Amparan. We will be voting on Officers for the new Columbian Year that evening.
Vivat Jesus!

Saint of The Day: St. Justin, Philosopher and Martyr
Coming to know God face to face. He’ll get there, but this man with a sharp intellect and an even sharper soul starts from afar, from paganism. In Samaria in the first century after Christ, Justin grows up nourished by philosophy. The masters of Greek philosophical thought are the light guiding his search for the infinite Being. He has a burning desire for this knowledge; if he could, he would like to grasp and explain that infinite Being with the power of reason.
The fame of the missionary-philosopher, to whom we owe the oldest extant description of the Eucharistic liturgy, traverses the centuries. Even Vatican II recalls his teaching in two pillars of the Council: the documents Lumen gentium and Gaudium et Spes. For Justin, Christianity is the historical and personal manifestation of the Logos in his totality. For this reason, Justin says, “Everything beautiful, no matter who said it, belongs to us Christians.”
