Brother Knights,

December 2025 is over, but let’s recap this month. On Sunday, December 7th we held our Sunday Breakfast, and it benefited the Fransalian Associates Ministry. It was another successful endeavor and thank you to all the Brother Knights who helped. For the month of December 2025, we did not have a membership meeting. The Knights took December off to enjoy time with families and friends during the Christmas season.

Looking ahead, our next Sunday breakfast will be on Sunday, January 11th, 2026, and it will benefit SJN Sponsored Scout Troop 522. Council 7923 is currently collecting annual dues for 2026. You can pay your dues at this upcoming breakfast or by clicking this link at kofclilburn.org. Brother Knights, we are currently planning for the 2026 Lenten Fish Fry Dinners please consider volunteering for the fish fry dinners. The first one will be on Friday, February 20th, 2026. If you are reading this, the fish fry dinners are a great time to start getting involved with Knights of Columbus Council 7923. May God Bless you All! 

That concludes my report.

Vivat Iesu,

GK Brian Jeffers
