State Chaplain’s Message

Father Bohdan Lukie CSsR

Dear Brother Knights and families,

Our Manitoba State Convention has successfully taken place and I personally wish to thank the State Board for all the diligent preparation and hard work of organizing this special weekend event.

I personally had the pleasure of meeting a number of the District Deputies and the Grand Knights     and their wives and for this I am most grateful.  

It was most edifying and inspiring to hear of all the wonderful charitable work that our Councils and their faithful members accomplish. I am pleased to be part of our Order, knowing that the Brother Knights accomplish so very much and do make a major difference in our parishes and in the Archdioceses of Manitoba. As the State Chaplain, I sincerely offer my humble “thank you” and encourage all our Knights to always honour the Knightly virtues of Unity,  Charity and Fraternity...

As we slow down for the summer months, I encourage you to consider the following excellent advice during the spring garden season and beyond:

PLANT HAPPINESS

First plant 5 rows of “peas”                    Then 5 rows of  “lettuce”

                  Prayer                                                      Let us be Faithful to duty

                  Perseverance                                           Let us be Truthful

                  Politeness                                                Let us be Unselfish

                  Promptness                                              Let us Follow Christ

                  Purity                                                       Let us Love one Another

Next plant 3 rows of “squash”               No garden is complete without “turnips”

                 Squash gossip                                           Turn up for Church

                 Squash criticism                                        Turn up with a Smile

                 Squash indifference                                   Turn up with new ideas

                                                                                    Turn up with determination to make...

                                                         ...everything count for something good and worthwhile.

It is amazing how a garden can challenge one’s imagination. Yes, imagine if I and you could do all the above. What a beautiful world we together would create!!!

May I wish and pray that ‘you’ and ‘yours’ are blessed with a wonderful, joyful, loveful, and peaceful summer and with the desire to continue to share all of your blessings into the new Columbian year! And don’t forget to be grateful for all your graces and gifts....

State Chaplain Father Bohdan Lukie CSsR
