Newsletter Editor’s Message

This month’s message takes excerpts from the Source and Summit article in the June 2022 issue of the Knights of Columbus Columbia magazine.  The National Eucharistic Revival initiative was launched in June 2022 with support from the Knights of Columbus.
The solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ – Corpus Christi – is always an important day in the Church, but it has special significance this year.  The feast, celebrated June 19 in the United States, marks the beginning of a multiyear initiative by the U.S. bishops to renew the Church by inviting the faithful into a living relationship with Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.
The National Eucharistic Revival, as the initiative is called, will include diocesan and parish-based formation and, following a National Eucharistic Congress to be held July 2024 in Indianapolis, will culminate in a “Year of Going Out on a Mission.”
“Our hope for this Eucharistic Revival is to affect the Church at every level”, explained Bishop Andrew Cozzens of Crookston, Minn.  Bishop Cozzens is leading the effort as chairman of the bishops’ committee on evangelization and catechesis.
“The Church teaches us that the Eucharist is the ‘source and summit of the Christian life.’  It is just as much the source and summit in the life of a Knight,” said Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly.  “Working with our bishops and priests, we will strive to renew belief in the Eucharist and build up the Church.  We are a force for unity, and we will prove it by pointing to the source of unity.”

Mission of Mercy is well underway. Vineland Council 6531 reports the first 40' shipping containers have been
filled and are being shipped to Poland and Ukraine.
We are now working on the second one. Please
encourage your Councils to take part in this project,
it will be ongoing. The problem in Ukraine will not be
going away soon.
Some Councils have enlisted help from their towns
and communities. They have placed articles and
flyers in their newspapers, online media, and
circulated posters and flyers. These efforts are
having a positive effect. As the donations of
requested items come in, please take them to the
collection locations in your Chapter. If you have
received a large amount, a pick-up truckload or
more, please give John Flynn a call (732-513-0196)
and we can schedule a pick-up.
