Worthy Sir Knights and Brothers all,

A reminder to all, the District of New Hampshire, in conjunction with MSG Randy D. McClellan Derry Assembly #3594, has announced a 4th Degree to be held on Saturday, February 18, 2023.

An announcement has been attached for you to use in promotion of this Degree, which will be an "Economical Degree", at a special rate of $50.00. This Economical format, in the past, has proven to be a great opportunity for the District of New Hampshire, and beneficial to your Assemblies in creating growth.

A reminder ... please pay attention to registration requests and where all forms and payments need to be sent. Some forms have already been sent to Ed McCann, and will hence need to be redirected to me ... prolonging the registration process.

AGAIN ... DEADLINES and ALL FORMS and PAYMENTS SENT TO DISTRICT MASTER, GLENN CAMLEY "BEFORE" THE DEGREE ... NOT DAY OF OR AFTER.

There is plenty of time left to register candidates for this EXCITING Degree. Last year, Bishop Peterson, Assembly #641 of Salem, brought in record candidates the last week of the deadline.

A "Form 4" fillable application has been attached for your convenience.

Let's keep the registrations coming in ...

Vivat Jesus!

Glenn

Brothers,

Marian Council 5748 has just scheduled what I am certain will be a deeply spiritual event for the Sunday before Palm Sunday. The Apostolate for Holy Relics will bring the ‘Relics of the Passion’ to St. Catherine of Sienna’s in Manchester, NH on March 26th for a 2pm service. Since the first public tour in 2007, the Relics of the Passion have been venerated in more than 20 diocese in the U. S., Guam and the Philippines.

The request for a Fourth Degree Team is being made, to add a sense of reverence to the event (highlighted below) and as a thanks for their participation will allow Fourth Degree Members to spend a moment with the Relic of the True Cross upon their chest.

The joy of giving and the pride of sharing:  a Council-to-Council Program

Bishop Peterson Council 4442, at St. Mary and Joseph parish in Salem NH, is offering a financial grant program to encourage other New Hampshire Councils to take on projects that might not be undertaken because of limited financial resources. It is intended that this grant will help other councils to develop programs that will boost their council’s image within their community, within their local parishes and create activities that promote the missions of the Knights of Columbus. It is not just for ordinary council expenses.

The Bishop Peterson Council has been blessed with strong economic resources that enable them to share beyond their border and to all Councils across the Granite State. This program was introduced about one year ago. A few councils have taken advantage of this program, but we feel the need may be greater. For more information on how your council can be involved in this sharing program, contact PGK Larry Belair at This email address is being protected from spambots.

All Knights are invited to join in praying the scriptural rosary for the canonization of Blessed Fr. McGivney on the 4th Thursday of each month (except November).  To register see the bottom of this article. This is a special scriptural rosary that helps us stay engaged in meditation on the life of Christ and the mystery of the rosary.  Blessed Fr. McGivney deserves our prayers and asks The Father to grant our heart-felt petitions.

Fr. McGivney's zeal for the proclamation of the Gospel and generous concern for the needs of his brothers and sisters is an outstanding witness of Christian solidarity and fraternal assistance.  By Apostolic Authority, Pope Francis decreed Fr. Michael McGivney be given the title of Blessed in
September 2020 and his Memorial to be celebrated each August 13th.

There are many ways to honor our founding father through mass liturgy, prayer for his canonization, a novena, a litany, devotions, liturgy of the hours, short films and sharing his life and legacy with others.  Please use this URL to access

The Knights of Columbus Supreme Council updated the free “Online 1^st Year Membership” through June 30, 2023. Effective July 01, 2022, the new promo code is: blessedmcgivney

The two attached membership flyers are updated with the current free promo. The “QR” enhanced downloadable posters are excellent for local church bulletins, vestibule flyers, council newsletters, and handouts for brother knights to distribute locally.

Flyers provide an array of opportunities to reach out to potential members to join the Knights of Columbus. One of the most effective, is the online membership process. Great to hand out as a follow up after your Delta Church Drives as well.
