CROSS & COMPASS
April 1, 2026
Dear Brothers,
Welcome to the April issue of Cross & Compass.
I began writing the April Cross & Compass on Wednesday March 25th, which is also the Annunciation of our Lord; a joyous event in the Catholic Church calendar. As Christians, we experience every emotion during Holy Week; from the joyous crowds welcoming Jesus with palms, to the great sorrow at the crucifixion of Jesus on Good Friday; culminating with the glorious resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday. I encourage everyone to experience these emotions of Holy Week by attending the Masses and events at Our Lady of Lourdes.
Exemplification: We welcomed six new Knights into Council 9924 on March 22nd: Charles Canfield, William Cossaboon, Larry Fasciano, Pat Hilbrich, John Kelly, and Vic Stringer
Thanks to Steve Vacca (Membership Director), Mark Schaeffer (DGK), Bill Szyper (Trustee) and their sponsors for making this a successful event. We look forward to seeing you at our meeting on Wednesday, April 8th in the Parish Hall starting with the Rosary at 5:30PM, Dinner at 6:00PM followed by the Meeting at 6:45PM to 8:00PM
