Grand Knight’s Message, October 2014

Brother Knights:

“Struggle” is an apt way of describing this month’s message. No, it does not define my efforts in finding an underused euphemism, but people and events that have come to my attention. Struggle describes Holy Family Church and Mt. Shasta Council 2599 in Weed California, which burned to the ground by a fast moving forest fire. Struggle describes a plea for help by a Catholic prison chaplain who had all his state funding cut off unannounced. Struggle describes those suffering from Intellectual Disabilities, who benefit from our Tootsie Roll fundraising. Yet, as Knights, we come to their aid, lighten their burden, and make part of their struggles our own.

Go! Make a difference…
John Sheldon
Grand Knight, Council 953
