The Easter Season has ended with Pentacost and we have now reentered Ordinary Time. Summer is fast approaching and the Fraternal Year is coming to a close. This past year has been very busy and it is hard to reflect on each and every accomplishment of this council but I can safely say that we have done our fair share of good works and acts of charity. We saw this council participating in a record amount of Blood Drives (four in all) and a record amount of Pro-life events. We marched on the Haverhill Abortion Clinic twice and supported the Haverhill Pregnancy Care Center. Even though we find ourselves in the middle of a deep recession, our gifts of charity and support have not wained. Our commitment to Saint Joseph’s School remains strong. Each month found ourselves doing something new and unique in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
I would like to thank you all as we plan on our new Fraternal Year. There are some things I hope we as a council can improve on as we reorganize some key positions. I am reaching out to all council members for your help and guidance in this area. I ask that you attend June’s meeting and cast your vote for the new role of officers. I am also looking for your input in areas of improvement for the council. We are now 137 members strong. We need to always keep our vision and direction fresh and invigorating.
Yours in Christ,
Deacon Tom
