e Regina Mundi Council #4052 Assumption B.V.M. Parish - Feasterville, PA November 2019 www.koc4052.org =========================================================================================================== : Brothers, With Thanksgiving only a few weeks away, this is a great opportunity to reflect on what we have to be thankful for. Family and friends, the ability to work at a decent job and support your family, and a warm, safe, and secure home all come to mind right away. But we should also be thankful for the opportunities that we have to serve our communities, to grow in faith and character, and to try to help others to do the same. I am thankful to belong to a council of brothers who take advantage of these opportunities on such a regular basis. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Vivat Jesus, Brother Rich Page 1

EVERY time our Church has had a need, our Brother Knights have responded. Right now, our Faith is under attack like it has never been and the Church needs its most faithful members to stand up and share its message of God's love with the world. The Knights are partnering with “Prayers Unite the World” to do just that. Begun by a Brother Knight, “Prayers Unite the World” is a website where people can request prayers and then learn about many of the Religious communities and Catholic organizations from around the world. We need to build an army of men who would be willing to share the Faith through the power of prayer. You do not need to explain the Faith. You simply live the Faith and let people know that God and his loving Church are with them. All through the power of prayer. It only takes five minutes of time and it doesn't cost a dime. For further information contact [email protected] or call 215-779-2198
