evening with excellent weather, plenty of food
and enjoyable camaraderie with fellow Knights,
friends and family.
We need help selling the tickets for our annual
beef raffle ticket sale after each of the Masses.
Please remember to put the tickets and the
money away in the cabinet after you are
finished selling. If you don’t know where the
tickets and money are, ask another Knight, or
call me and I will give directions. It is our
largest fund raising event and we need your
help to make it another success. The drawing
for the winners will be held at the December 8
regular meeting.

Knight Light
Saint Peter is sitting at the Pearly Gates when
two guys wearing dark hoodies, and sagging
pants, arrive.
St. Peter looked out through the Gates and
said, "Wait here. I’ll be right back." St. Peter
goes over to God's chambers and tells him
who is waiting for entrance. God says to Peter:
"How many times do I have to tell you? You
can't be judgmental here. This is heaven. All
are loved. All are brothers. Go back and let
them in!"
"No. The Pearly Gates."
