Hard to believe but March is almost here and that means Snake Saturday Parade.  The parade is scheduled for Saturday March 15th in the morning.  We will need Honor Guard, walkers (tootsie Roll throwers), and most importantly veterans.  As with the past two parades, we will honor our veterans in the wagon.  Knights who can't walk that far are welcome to join us in the wagon as well.  Children and grandchildren are welcome to join us in the parade.  In recent years our best showing was about 25 Knights, we would really like to blow that number away.  Please plan on participating with us this year.  This year's theme is "Mile and Miles of Irish Smiles".  If you have any suggestions as to how to incorporate the theme into our display, please contact Fred O'Halloran or our Grand Knight Gus Bannick. 

GOSPEL
Mark 1:29-39

On leaving the synagogue Jesus entered the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John. Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a fever. They immediately told him about her. He approached, grasped her hand, and helped her up. Then the fever left her and she waited on them.

When it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were ill or possessed by demons. The whole town was gathered at the door. He cured many who were sick with various diseases, and he drove out many demons, not permitting them to speak because they knew him.

Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed. Simon and those who were with him pursued him and on finding him said, "Everyone is looking for you." He told them, "Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose have I come." So he went into their synagogues, preaching and driving out demons throughout the whole of Galilee.

Have You Insured Your Most Valuable Asset?

Is your income protected if you become sick or injured and cannot work? Your ability to work and earn an income is your most valuable asset. Yet a disability could prevent you from earning that income. Just one year of a disability could eliminate your savings.

Income Armor, an individual disability income insurance product from the Knights of Columbus, should be a key part of your overall financial plan and family's protection.

If you are ill or injured, Income Armor provides tax-free monthly benefits to help you meet living expenses and maintain you and your family's standard of living. Your monthly benefits help you pay your mortgage and other monthly bills, while your savings and retirement assets remain intact.

With the bad weather and the dark nights,  we have moved our Ladies meetings to the second Wednesday of each month at 1:00 p.m.  We have also decided to bring in a brown bag lunch and will play cards after our meetings.  We hope more ladies can  participate at this time.  We would love to include any new members, just come and enjoy the afternoon with us.

We want to tell everyone to mark their calendars for our  Cabbage and Corn Beef dinner, March 9th.  We will have more information next month in the newsletter  and will put up a flyer at the Hall.

We still have cookbooks from the State Aux. to sell for $15.00 each.  They are very nice cookbooks and several of our Ladies have their recipes in the book.  Let me know if anyone would like to purchase one.

Until next time,

Sheila Van Keirsbilck
