Knights of Columbus - Ottawa Council 1757 PO BOX 13 Ottawa, Ohio 45875-0013 419-538-6700 http://www.kofcknights.org/CouncilSite/CNO=1757 Newsletter for January 2015 through March 2015 PLEASE SUPPORT CATHOLIC RADIO WJTA 88.9 GREETINGS BROTHER KNIGHTS! MERRY CHRISTMAS to all Brother Knights and their Families from my fellow K of C Officers and myself. May the Christ Child bestow upon you many blessings in the New Year. Keep the Peace of Christ in your hearts and extend the love to others. Bishop Thomas has been visiting the Deaneries of the Toledo Diocese to announce his message. His personal request to us is to pray the Rosary, fast and do something for the poor. If you are already doing these things, then he said to do more. His goal is to help all of us get to Heaven. I hope you are here for me to help this poor Bishop get to Heaven. His hope and dream for this Diocese is to be Holy. One of his visits was to Kalida St, Michael’s Catholic Church. My personal wish for each of you is to have a Blessed Christmas. Treasure the times with your loved ones.
