Volume 60 No. 1 July-August 2019 Our 96th Year

Brothers:

Pleasant greetings to all of you. First, I would

like to say thank you for the opportunity to lead the

Joseph Barry Council. I’m looking forward to a

productive year. I never anticipated taking on such

an important role not only in our Catholic community

but also in our local Hicksville community. The

Knights of Columbus has been an important asset to

Hicksville for many years. It is vital that we continue

to be relevant as our local community is going

through much change. Second, I want to

congratulate my fellow officers in each of their

respective roles. Together, we can navigate the

Council to another successful year and make a

difference in our community.

A few summer reminders. Our business meetings

will be on July 16 and August 20. Doo Wop Night,

featuring the music of the Acchords, will be on

August 24. Please contact Brian Dunker if you

would like to attend. It is a wonderful evening with

great music. A quick look ahead: the installation of

the Council’s new officers will be on September 3

and the past Grand Knight’s Testimonial will be

September 28. Please attend the latter so that we can

properly honor Artie Traylor for all his work.

Lastly, let’s keep in mind two noteworthy saints

over this summer. July 29 is Saint Martha’s Day. A

close friend of Jesus, Martha once prepared a meal

for him and pointed out that “all hands should pitch

in to help with dinner.” She is the patron saint of

cooks, housewives, servants, waiters, and

waitresses. July 31 is Saint Ignatius of Loyola

Day. The namesake of our church, he is the

patron saint of retreats and the founder of both

the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) and the Roman

College.

Fraternally,

Derek Stadler

Grand Knight
