I extend a very warm welcome to the Msgr. Jean Eyraud Knights of Columbus Council # 2436 as they will celebrate their 100th Anniversary on Saturday, January 14, 2023 at the 5:00 P.M. Vigil Mass. The Knights of Columbus was established in St. Peter’s Parish exactly 100 years ago on January 14, 1923. I welcome all members of Council # 2436 and their wives or special guests. Also in attendance will be members of the Knights of Columbus from the National Office as well as the State Office. After the Mass, a banquet for the Knights and their invited guests will take place in the Msgr. Eyraud Knights of Columbus Home. Congratulations on this momentous occasion.
As we return to Ordinary Time, we once again hear from John the Baptist. In today’s Gospel, John the Baptist tells his followers that the One who was to come is here! Follow Him! He will tell everyone what is necessary to do to become His disciples. May each one of us take the time to listen and hear the Voice of Jesus.
The second collection next weekend, January 21-22, will be for the new air conditioning unit.
