April 2021 Bulletin: Christ Is Risen!

Lead article from the April 2021 bulletin, online now.

Happy Easter!!! The Lord is risen Alleluia! As Lent is over and we celebrate the resurrection of the Lord the Knights in person activity is starting to pick up. As Holy Week is during the first week of the month the council meeting is in person at the St. Albert’s Parish Hall at 7:00 pm on April 8th. As Minnesota is starting to open up following the lock downs, we are hoping to have more in person events soon. As of the writing of this article the status of if Albertville Friendly City is going to happen is unknown. We are waiting to see when the Albertville Friendly City Days will know the status and will plan council activities in relationship to the festival accordingly. As of the writing of this article there was not a decision from the State Council as to if the tootsie roll drive was going to happen. As each day passes without a decision from the State the likelihood of a tootsie roll drive decreases. Scholarship applications were due into gaming by April 1st. If you are reading this article and your high school senior has not submitted their application for a scholarship please make sure that it gets in. Thank you for all you are doing in these strange times. Please continue to pray for one another, our church and country. Remember to keep the faith!!!!

God bless,

March 2021 Bulletin: Lenten Activities

Lead article from the March 2021 bulletin, online now.

The great Lent season of fasting and praying is upon us preparing our hearts and souls for Easter Sunday. The activity of the council has been slow, but will hopefully pick-up steam soon. As of the writing of this article, Stations of the Cross are going to be at St. Michael’s Catholic Church during the Friday’s of Lent. The fourth degree voted to suspend all Honor Guards for Stations for this Lenten season. The council will be leading a Stations of the Cross during Lent. Please look for an e-mail with details on when the council will be leading Stations of the Cross as the date has yet to be determined. The Knights will not be sponsoring a fish fry this year.

The bars have been open and gaming is starting meat raffles at Dittos again. The gaming managers are looking for help with the meat raffles. If you are able to help please contact Dan Laird. Many thanks to Dave Miodus who has already volunteered to help out.

The March council meeting will be held at St. Albert’s Parish Hall on Thursday March 4th at 7:00 pm. Please remember to keep the church and each other in your prayers, please watch out for each other and remember to Keep the Faith!

God bless,
