JOIN THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS

The Knights of Columbus are an international fraternal bene-

fit society. It is the largest lay organization in the Roman

Catholic Church. The core principles of the Knights of Co-

lumbus are: Charity, Unity, Fraternity & Patriotism.

There are three prerequisites to join the Knights: (1) male,

(2) at least 18 years old; (3) a practical Catholic (practical

means practicing/living out the Catholic faith).

After satisfying these three requirements, you should contact

any of the Knights and express your interest. Locally, con-

tact David Ely (Email: Elyfamily6@aol.com or call (802)

862-5109). The Knights operate on a degree standard—first

through fourth. Knights may progress through the degrees as

they are able and willing. There is no specific time of the

year to join. If you don’t meet the requirements but would

still like to volunteer, we welcome you to join us in lending a

hand.

The activities of the Knights of Columbus are centered

around support for Church, Community, Family, Youth, and

Culture of Life. We look forward to hearing from you!

LITURGY OF THE WORD

January 5, 2020—The Epiphany of the Lord

Isaiah 60: 1-6 The glory of the Lord shines on all people.

Psalm 72: “Lord, every nation on earth will adore you.”

Ephesians 3:2-3a, 5-6 The Gentiles are coheirs of the

Promise.

Matthew 2:1-12 They presented gifts of gold, frankincense

and myrrh.

A light shines for all to see, revealing God’s glory and

drawing people from all over. In Isaiah, the light is in

Jerusalem, the holy city, attracting kings and caravans. In

the Gospel, the light is in the sky over Bethlehem, attract-

ing magi from the east. Paul preaches that the light shines

equally for all, Jews and Gentiles, “copartners” in the

promise of salvation. Let us listen today for all the foreign

places and peoples, enabling us to sing, “every nation on

earth will adore you.” (Source: Pastoral Patterns, Winter

2019-2020 - World Library Publications.)
