December 3, 2022 – Additional note to Knights of Columbus
Dear Brother Knights,
With our commitment to strengthening our faith as Catholics and our decision to serve God as members of the Knights of Columbus, leading our families through our acts, we can take advantage of the programs and events that happen around our great state. One of the opportunities to strengthen our faith and rally together as Catholics is through Spiritual Reflection. One of the required programs is to hold or attend a retreat and time of reflection within our councils or in conjunction with other councils.
This fraternal year, many of us have had to make decisions based on our needs and the needs of our families and events have been hard to come by. However, you have an opportunity on February 19th to attend a one day retreat at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Lonsdale, Minnesota. This year’s Spiritual Reflection Retreat is hosted by Council 16225 and features a dynamic Catholic Evangelist, Jesse Romero. Our goal this year is to provide an inspirational day of lectures, prayer, adoration, fellowship, and all around concentration on our spirituality.
This event is open to everyone. There is a small charge of $10.00 for ages 12 and up and free for all others. The cost is used to help pay for your lunch, the speaker fees and travel expenses, and print materials that are to be used. We would ask that you either register as a council in which if you have 10 members or 10% of your council whichever is smallest, you notify me so that I can write a letter of confirmation that you have met the requirements for a retreat for your SP7. As well, I would encourage all in attendance who are able to dress out that we will have Color Corps for this event at the mass to close out the day. If you cannot make the event but would like to help with the expenses, donations are greatly appreciated.
