Chaplain, Fr. Jeff Day Dear Brother <strong>Knights</strong>, It truly is a joy to be a brother Knight alongside all of you, and to serve our Council as Chaplain. I received my First Degree some 17 years ago, and made my Fourth Degree five years ago. I have never regretted joining the best <strong>Catholic</strong> fraternal organization in the <strong>Church</strong>! Although I miss my brother <strong>Knights</strong> at my former Council of Fr. Patrick O’Kelley, I want to thank you for welcoming me and the warm reception you gave me soon after I arrived at St. <strong>Fabian</strong>. Your hospitality was just wonderful, and my family and I were most appreciative of the wonderful food. I also appreciate the work of your former chaplain, Fr. Brian, for the great work he did in helping to found and nurture the Council over the years. How proud he must be to know what an influential impact this Council has on our parish, and on the local community. It is amazing what a relatively small group of men can do when we work together as <strong>Knights</strong>! I look forward to being with you and serving alongside of you for the years to come. Let us do whatever we can to support our Grand Knight, Mike Kennedy. As we enter the fall and the pace of activities increases for the Council and the parish as a whole, it is important that we remember why we serve, and Whom we serve. As the author of the Letter to the Hebrews reminds us, we must continually “keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith.” With these words of scripture on our minds and in our hearts, may we continue to joyfully serve the Lord. God bless you all. Vivat Jesus! Fr. Jeff Welcome to Fr.
