Mike is always busy helping at the Church, in the Hall, doing Knights charitable works, doing services, whenever, wherever and however, when he is available. He is a family man who spreads his time, talent and treasures where Christ gave us all. However, let us all keep in our prayers the parts of the world and the lives that are being disrupted by war and civil unrest. It is sad to see what man does to man in these areas. As Knights, we can help with prayer and doing our part by helping and being involved in the Council 7402 activities. I ask you Brothers to step up, whenever you can, to participate in our events and combined with the other area Councils, the state and national and worldwide Councils, Knights make a big difference. Remembering always that our most powerful weapon is prayer. Vivat Jesus!
