Brother Knights:

Hope everyone had a Great Lent season and a Wonderful Easter! Hard to believe its April already.

There have been some changes in April schedule. The pancake breakfast is back to April 20th after the 7:30 and 9:30 masses. We have to be out of Ryan Hall by 12:30 for another function at 1:00. The reason for the change is because Deacon Joe Kaiser is retiring from Nativity and they are giving him a party after the 9:30 mass in Ryan Hall on the 13th of April All the Knights of Columbus wish him and his family the best!!

Elections for officers of the Council is coming up and we need to form a committee to help nominate positions. If you are interested in any position pleases contact myself 720-870-3688. Also we have had in the past had a great system of just sighing someone a position.

The living rosary is on April 17th at 7:00 in the back garden weather permitting, if rain or snow it will be in the church. All our welcome with families, the more the better. This is our social meeting this month.

I would like to congratulations Alex and Catherine Reuter Family of the month. They participate in a lot of actives in the Parish. Alex is also a Trustee in the and shows up meetings. Dennis Eichner Knight of the month. He also does a lot for the parish and is Financial Secretary for the council and comes to the meetings.

We finally received the extra 30% from the State for our Tootsie Roll drive which was 240 Dollars which we gave to Friends of Broomfield. They were so grateful for our support. The total we gave them was 804 Dollars.

We might think about having a pancake breakfast in June and September to see which one is better to replace July.

It was very disappointing that only three Knights showed up for the Stations of the Cross on March 14th. It was for the Knights to get some exposure. Hope next will be better. Thanks for those who showed.

Have a Great month!

God Bless

There were 393,030 Knights of Columbus blood donors during the year, and Knights made more than 5.5 million visits to the sick and bereaved.
