At our last Little Knights meeting, we had a Halloween party. Little Knights came dressed in their costumes and played games and won prizes. Some Knights brought Halloween goodies and everybody had lots of fun and got lots of candy!

 

The Thanksgiving Story

Thanksgiving originated in 1620 when “pilgrims” left England in search of freedom of religion. However, when they arrived in the New World, many died or got sick. While in the New World, Indians named Squanto and Samoset taught the pilgrims how to survive the harsh conditions.  In return, they held a feast to celebrate the good harvest. Today that feast is called Thanksgiving.

On Saturday, November 20th, the Little Knights will be meeting at 10AM at the council hall to prepare Thanksgiving dinner food boxes for needy parish families.  This meeting will be held instead of the regularly scheduled November meeting.  If you’d like to make a food donation, please bring your item(s) with you on Saturday. 

The Knights of Columbus children’s Christmas party will be held on Sunday, December 12th from 3pm-7pm at St. Anthony of Padua gym. There is no charge, however donations will be accepted at the door.

 On March 14th, the Little Knights braved the cold and marched in the Huntington St. Patrick’s Day parade with the Father Judge and Gate of Heaven Councils. It was a long march but we all had a great time!

CREST CONTEST!

We are holding a “Crest Contest.” A crest is a symbol that describes something about a group, such as a family or club. Crests usually have mottos. On the attached page you can draw a crest and a motto for the Little Knights.  The winning crest and motto will appear on future “Knightly News” issues. (Crests and mottos will be selected independent of each other, i.e. a winner’s motto may not be chosen with his/her crest.)

 

RULES FOR CREST CONTEST

  •  Entries must be drawn in black ink

  • Designs must be drawn inside the crest shape ONLY

  • If including a motto, place it in the space beneath the crest

  • HAVE FUN!
