Knights Line
My Brother Knights,
Vivat Jesus!
We had a wonderful turnout for the Memorial Mass in Nov. held at St. Margaret of Scotland. Thank you
to all who came to share a mass and prayers for our deceased Brother Knights and members of the
Daughters of Isabella.
On December 5th, we are having our annual Council Christmas Party for the Adults. Doors open at
6:30pm/Dinner at 7:00 pm. There is a sign up sheet in the Club Room so we know how many to
expect. Don't forget to bring some non-perishable food stuffs and one unwrapped toy to help with
the Council Food Baskets. The Children's Christmas party will be held on Dec. 14th for the Council's
children and grandchildren. A sign up sheet will be in the Club room so we will know how many children
to expect. . There will be a First Degree being held at the Council on Dec. 15th at 8 p.m. If you have
anyone going through this class, please get their application in as soon as possible so they can be
interviewed.
We have a tentative date for a Corporate Communion on January 25th, 2015 at St. Margaret of
Scotland, 10 a.m. Mass with a breakfast to follow. Where the breakfast will be held it yet to be
decided. Keep watching the Knightline for further details. A Free Throw contest is tentatively scheduled
for Sunday, Jan 18th at St. Margaret of Scotland. Contact D.G.K. Wilczynski if you have someone who
wishes to enter.
We will be packing Christmas Food Baskets on Dec. 19th (FRI). If you can help in anyway contact
the chairman D.G.K. Wilczynski. The Council will be selling car magnets to support KEEP CHRIST IN
CHRISTMAS. See the D.G.K. if you wish to purchase one.
On behalf of my family and myself, I wish everyone a very Blessed Christmas and a Happy and
Healthy New Year. May HIS peace and love be with you always.

family when the Brother Knights honor him in praying the
Rosary.
Our Rosary Chain assures that every Knight is remembered.
We need more members to join.

THIS IS MY BODY
(33rd in a series)
In 1330, a young girl of 9 years old named Imelda Lambertini entered the convent of Santa Maria in Valdipietra near Bologna, Italy. In 1333, the 12 year old Imelda longed for Holy Communion. After Mass, the
sisters noticed a bright white Host was suspended in the air above Imelda’s head. A priest came with a paten,
the Host descended. He gave Imelda her First Holy Communion. She received the sacrament. The child went
into ecstasy and died, May 12, 1933. Her body remains incorrupt.
HOLY FAMILY CIRCLE #981
DAUGHTERS OF ISABELLA
At our meeting in December, we will hold our annual Christmas dinner. The members are asked to bring
non-perishable items, paper products, personal hygiene items and toys. All the items that we collect, will be
given to the Knights of Columbus. They will add them to the baskets that they distribute at Christmas time.
The stores already put out Christmas merchandise. I am not ready to think of Christmas just yet. I don't know
about you, but I can't believe that 2014 is also coming to a close. This year just flew by.
I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Sandra Mihalic, Regent
Prolife volunteers earn election payoff on behalf of the most defenseless
Because of the selfless work of prolife people, the 2014 midterm election saw 86 percent of candidates endorsed by the Right to Life of Michigan Political Action Committee win their races, a historic result. Highlights include 100 percent of the endorsed candidates for the U.S. House and Michigan Senate winning their
races, as well as 90 percent of endorsed Michigan House candidates Despite huge cash infusions from
teacher unions and the efforts of paid election workers, . Planned Parenthood routinely downplays their
commitment to abortion, but Michigan voters were not fooled and returned solid prolife majorities to the
Michigan Legislature.
Prolife volunteers, working hard for free, made a difference in key races, some of which were decided by
less than 100 votes. Before the election, Detroit Free Press columnist Brian Dickerson begrudgingly recognized the unique success the Right to Life of Michigan has with elections and legislation. Thank you for
your efforts and your support this election season.
John Smith, Pro-Life Chairman. (www.rtl.org) "Merry Christmas to all Knights and Families."

Sir Knights,
Here I am, last minute again. Just returned from pursuit of the Mighty
Stag in the North Country. SK's I will start this month’s article with a
moment of silence for the passing of Lady Betty Michaels, wife of SK
Michael Michaels PFN. Lady Betty passed on October 25th. Let’s
keep her and Michael in our prayers.
Motions have been made in the past fraternal year to change the starting time of our monthly meetings. Since the 8:00pm start time is written in our By-Laws it will need a change to be voted on by the membership. In January, I will establish a 3 man committee to review our
By-Laws to see if there is need to amend those in force. Any suggested amendments will be posted in this column prior to a vote at the following meeting.
