Stand With Your Brother Knights in Hawaii
Dear Brother,
It has been just over a week since the devastating wildfires in Maui began. The shocking scenes of destruction are unforgettable, and the loss of life is devastating. In the midst of this tragedy and its long-term consequences, many still unknown, Knights of Columbus are already stepping up to help those in the greatest need.
It is often said that “where there’s a need, there’s a Knight” and our brother Knights in Hawaii are proving it once again. With financial support from the Supreme Council, Grand Knight John Fielding and members of Our Lady of Peace Council 5000 in Honolulu took immediate action. They filled a boat with clothing, sleeping bags, tents, food items and other aid, and sailed into Lahaina on Monday to deliver aid. With them were two Catholic priests who provided spiritual support to victims. Today, they will return to Lahaina with still more relief supplies.
Knights of Columbus are on the ground in Maui, distributing aid, coordinating temporary housing, serving meals and assisting with the cleanup. Bishop Larry Silva of Honolulu, the diocese which covers all of Hawaii, told me this week, “The Knights have definitely stepped up and rolled up their sleeves. We are very grateful!”
Not every Knight can roll up his sleeves and provide hands-on assistance after a disaster 2,400 miles away from the mainland. But every one of us can still make a difference. And today, I invite you to join me in making sure that our work of bringing physical and spiritual aid to Maui can continue.
If you are able, please DONATE NOW to the Knights of Columbus Charities Disaster Relief Fund. 100% of your donation will support recovery efforts in Hawaii.
Stand with your brother Knights and make a donation today.
Thank you for your generosity!
Fraternally,
Patrick E. Kelly

St. John's to Receive Relics of Saints
Wednesday April 26 from 9am - 8pm
Delphos St. John's Church
Open to the public
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) has been presented with a relic of Blessed Carlo Acutis by Archbishop Domenico Sorrentino of the Diocese of Assisi-Nocera Umbra-Gualdo Tadino in Italy.
Blessed Carlo Acutis was an Italian teenager who used technology to spread devotion to the Eucharist before his death at age fifteen from leukemia in 2006. He offered his sufferings for the Church and for the Holy Father, and Pope Francis has called him a role model for young people. He was beatified in 2020 and is one of the intercessors for the national Eucharistic Revival, a multi-year initiative by the bishops of the United States to reinvigorate devotion in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
The relics of Blessed Carlo Acutis and St. Manuel Garcia Gonzales will be at St. John The Evangelist Catholic Church on Wednesday, April 26th, from 9 AM till 8 PM. They will be received into the Diocese for the purpose of promoting Eucharistic devotion. The committee for promoting Eucharistic Revival is looking for all people who could possibly be in the church to provide security for the relics. This will entail enforcing restrictions on the handling of the relics only.

Catholic Men's Conference
As Knights of Columbus, we must deepen our own spirituality and formation to combat the crisis of faith in the Church today. Graciously, we have an opportunity to rejoice over hate, discover the courage we need to resist untruths, and the confidence to see the true glory that awaits us. Brothers, we can do this together at the 26th Annual Catholic Men’s Conference!
The Catholic Men's Conference returns to Kasich Hall at the Ohio Expo Center on February 25th, 2023. This Conference will include Adoration, Reconciliation, Holy Mass, very impactful speakers including our very own Most Reverend Earl K. Fernandes, Bishop of Columbus. The Conference will also include breakfast, lunch, and opportunities to visit with faith-based organizations. Many groups will be set up with tables and activities along with the Knights of Columbus recruitment team.
Linked below is a flyer detailing this year's Conference, including live links to allow for easy registration. But wait, there is more! If you noticed, the Women’s Conference is the weekend before. Why not give the women in your life a wonderful experience by inviting them to a day of Sacraments, inspirations, devotions, friendships, and joyful praise through music.
Men, please share this wonderful opportunity with your councils, parishes, families and more. Join us Brothers and invite all who are “Called to be Saints” and grow closer to our Lord!
Vivat Jesus!
