Holy Week has arrived! 

How are you doing on your Lenten journey? 

Our fasting and sacrificing has allowed us to better our lives. Come worship with us this week as we relive the ultimate sacrifice of our Lord and Savior; the last supper, the foot washing, His Passion and death on the cross.

Knights’ Korner – December 21, 2008

Happy Birthday, Jesus!

Vince Nirtaut, Grand Knight, and the officers of St Elizabeth Seton Knights of Columbus Council 10025, wish our Brother Knights, their families and the entire SES community a happy, blessed, and Merry Christmas. We are truly blessed and very grateful to the men of the SES community who have generously given of their precious time and talent to help make life a little more tolerable for the recipients of our fundraising efforts. This Holy Season, as we gather around the Christmas tree, we remember the brave men and women of our mighty military. We hope they get a little rest to remember the Reason for the Season and we salute them for keeping us safe from harm’s way. Merry Christmas to all and keep up the good work!

Knights’ Korner – December 14, 2008

The Third Sunday of Advent Christmas Day is just 11 short days away. How are you doing? Are you Keeping Christ in Christmas? Back on the First Sunday of Advent, Fr. Tom urged us to do more of three things.  Be considerate. Be generous. Be a little more prayerful. It is time to reflect on how we are doing on these three simple tasks. Do you help the person reaching for the item on the top shelf? Do you drop a few coins in every Salvation Army bucket? Do you say a prayer for the motorist that cut you off? Remember, Jesus is the Reason for the Season. The third candle of our Advent Wreath gets lit today. The light of our wreath gets brighter as each week gets closer to Christmas, the birth of our Savior. How are YOU answering the Lord’s call?

Knights’ Korner – December 6, 2008

Keep Christ in Christmas! At Christmas we honor the birth of Jesus Christ. At times our Savior is forgotten in the commercialization of the season and the rush to get ready for holiday festivities. In a time when all things religious are being discouraged and swept away, it’s refreshing to know that the Order sponsors the “Keep Christ in Christmas” campaign to remind people that Christmas is above all a holy day celebrating the birth of Christ. Keeping Christ in Christmas is keeping the very heart and meaning of the Christmas celebration alive.

Keep Christ in Christmas

 

Christmas came in October at All Saints Catholic Academy as your Knights donated the pole and flag of our great country to the school. Once again, K of C stands for Knights of Charity. Merry Christmas!

The Pancake Breakfast was another huge success. Jack Meister, the pancake meister exclaimed, “What a tremendous response to the call for volunteers and the great effort from everyone! It was truly a team effort and made the whole day a great joy to serve! And, a big thank you to the SES community for your generous support of our (free) breakfast.”

Vote Vote Vote: The Knights of Columbus urge everyone to vote.

Do you know where your polling place is?

Do you know who to vote for? There are lots of options at the local, county, state and national level.

This is one of the most important elections we will ever have in our lifetime. Are your candidates pro-choice? What are their views on military spending? How will they fix the financial crisis on Wall Street and with the mortgage sector? We get to vote for whoever we want. This great country allows us the freedoms to vote.

But you must vote. If you don’t vote you don’t get to share your opinion about the problems and opportunities facing this great country. Please don’t answer the question “Did you Vote?” with a no when the election is finally over.  Who will be the next President of the United States? The pundits all have their opinions. But it is us that will decide. President McCain? President Obama? We will know soon enough; Tuesday night. Don’t waste your vote by skipping this election. Remember, the last President was elected based on just a few votes. Every vote counts. Vote Vote Vote

MR/LD Drive:

To date we have raised over $8,800! Thank you, thank you, thank you  to the over 60 volunteers that had a hand in our largest fundraising drive of the year. Whether it was by making phone calls, working the store fronts, risking your lives on the street corners, after Mass sales, manning the booth at the Parish picnic, by private donations, or by offering a prayer, we really appreciate your efforts.   It was a tremendous success and could not have been done without ALL of your support. Also, thanks to Naperville and specifically the St. Elizabeth Seton community for your generous outpouring of support.
