Worthy Brothers,
I’m saddened to pass along the news that our brother, Harold Brickman, has passed away.   Thank for all the prayers offered for Hal and his family over the last few weeks and months.

Please see the note below from our brother Allen Rohl, requesting prayers for the repose of Hal’s soul as well as for comfort for his wife Alice and his children.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. 

Thank you and God bless,
SK Mike Potochnik, GKKnights of Columbus, Council 11234St. Catherine of Siena, Wake Forest, NChttp://kofc11234.org

Brothers,
As Catholics and Knights of Columbus, we are called to promote and firmly defend a Culture of Life that values life from the moment of conception to natural death.  Therefore, I am requesting that you join me and your brother Knights as we pray a Novena for Life leading into Lent this year. 
We will embark on nine days of prayer beginning on Tuesday, February 26th and concluding on Ash Wednesday, March 6th.
If you are already praying the Novena for Repentance, Renewal and Rebuilding currently being prayed by Knights of Columbus as the bishops meet to discuss the sexual abuse crisis, no worries, just add the Prayer for Life to your daily prayers.  God asks us to pray unceasingly!

The prayer for life can be found below and I will also leave prayer cards in the Narthex near the exits this weekend.  Please feel free to share this with your friends and family members.  The more people we have to join in prayer, the better.

I also ask that send me a quick reply if you and your family members intend to join us in prayer so that I can report our participation to Supreme. 
Lastly, and I know I don’t need to ask, but please keep Fr. Bill John and Fr Magee in your prayers, as well.

O Mary bright dawn of the new world, Mother of the living, to you do we entrust the cause of life: Look down, O Mother, upon the vast numbers of babies not allowed to be born, of the poor whose lives are made difficult, of men and women who are victims of brutal violence, of the elderly and the sick killed by indifference or out of misguided mercy. Grant that all who believe in your Son may proclaim the Gospel of life with honesty and love to the people of our time. Obtain for them the grace to accept that Gospel as a gift ever new, the joy of celebrating it with gratitude throughout their lives and the courage to bear witnessto it resolutely, in order to build, togetherwith all people of good will, the civilization of truth and love, to the praise and glory of God, the Creator and lover of life.  Amen

Hey Guys:
As we approach the Lenten season, I know we could all use some “manly” fellowship so let’s meet up . Don’t hem and haw about, just put it on the calendar and be there (with wife approval, of course 😁). Feel free to invite others with the same MO. 

Let me know if you can make it. I hope to see all of you there!

Worthy Brothers,
This evening I received an update on our brother Hal Brickman’s condition.  Unfortunately, Hal has been weakened by bladder cancer and is no longer strong enough to receive treatment. 
Please keep Hal and his family in your thoughts and prayers and please continue to pray for Hal’s son Steven, who continues his battle with lymphatic cancer.
In Christ,
SK Mike Potochnik, GKKnights of Columbus, Council 11234St. Catherine of Siena, Wake Forest, NChttp://kofc11234.org
