Bishops, Priest & Deacons, State Families and Membership,
My brothers and sisters in Christ, Greetings and Blessing, Happy Easter from the Nowak Agency.
In Colossians, 3:17 ‘And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him…’
So, as we come out of being at the State Convention where we celebrated the good that was done within our Councils and through the State in every diocese, we should give thanks to God the Father through the Lord Jesus. And with this in mind we can return to the mission in each council, striving to all things both word and deed be done in Him and through Him.
We see so much effort toward building valuable relationships with one another, and that is the true gift we have to offer to any gentlemen in any place in Wisconsin, and the UP of Michigan. We know what matters most, and we need to share that vision with those that are not among us yet. That true authentic relationships await them in each council. That in these days when most cannot find what they are looking for we have already found it. It is a love of the Lord and love of the brotherhood within our order. So now that we know this who are we going to tell? Well, we heard we should tell the men first, then their wives. Then with our Priest and Bishop’s help through parish life, we can double are efforts to grow Wisconsin, and by doing so build up the church. With more members we will serve more fully the needs and bridge those gaps. Helping our Parishes & Catholic Schools grow stronger with our support.
I encourage each or you to start a journal, write down the 5 things that happen today that were good. Then write down the name of the man you will ask to join our ranks. Then pray for him that he might say yes to that invite. We can grow with your efforts, and your example of fortitude. Ask him and ask your wife to ask his wife. Stay true to our mission, helping men become Knights.
In the Month of Mary, I encourage you to say the rosary, take flowers to a Marian statue and ask for our Lady’s help she is the Patroness of the Knights. I would like to thank all who attend the 123rd State convention, it was good to see you and celebrate the past years’ efforts. I look forward to working with all of you to make sure we meet or exceed the expectations of membership in 2024-2025 Fraternal year.
Vivat Jesus,
Tim Nowak, General Agent
