6th April 2020 - The Supreme Knight issues
further advice
An Update from Supreme Knight
Over the last weeks I have seen so many
of Brothers in their communication attempts;
This is Fraternity for which I am delighted to
see and to compliment you all.
My own Council have had a “WhatsApp”
for the last 3 years, this came about by a younger Brother saying
that we all need to keep in contact with each other, remind us of
meetings, events it includes the Council’s
Chaplain, who also communicates with us on Mass times etc.
This does not stop you from picking up the
phone to Brothers who you know live alone, this has always been
the way that welfare Officer should have been doing. Now is the
time to reach out to those Brothers, indeed Brothers who live outside
your area whom
you may not have seen in sometime.
Talk to them!
This is Holy Week
While it is not possible to visit your local Church there are lots
of Church’s on-line. Mass times are listed across the Orders
website. You can “attend” daily Mass from most Churches
across the country. This is our
Faith we are living reminders of our Church nd when they do reopen
we will throng them in our great numbers, to again show our commitment
to our religious beliefs. We must remember the time when Jesus was
left alone in the desert the trials he went through before coming
into Jerusalem. This week is the Lord’s Passion; let us each
and everyone concentrate on this time until His Glorious
Resurrection on Easter Sunday.
