Grand Knight's Report
Lent is the forty-day liturgical season of fasting, special prayer and almsgiving in preparation for Easter.
The name "Lent" is from the Middle English Lenten and Anglo-Saxon Lenten, meaning spring; its more primitive ecclesiastical name was the "forty days," tessaracoste in Greek. The number "forty" is first noted in the Canons of Nicaea (A.D. 325), likely in imitation of Jesus' fast in the desert before His public ministry (with Old Testament precedent in Moses and Elijah). By the fourth century, in most of the West, it referred to six days' fast per week of six weeks (Sundays were excluded); in the seventh century the days from Ash Wednesday through the First Sunday were added to make the number forty.
LENT - What is Our Council Doing?
As in past years, we will be serving fish dinners in the Parish Center Family Room on the first six Fridays of Lent. We will be serving from 5 pm to 7 pm.
We will be emphasizing the praying of the Rosary by offering Rosary wheels and prayer cards to those in attendance. The Church is asking everyone to pray the Rosary at such a troubled time.
The monthly Donated Goods will be March 9th, when we collect and distribute used clothes, furniture and appliances that help those in need in our community and Eastern and Western North Carolina. What a great way to practice ALMSGIVING!
On Saturday, March 16th, we will be marching in the St. Patrick's Parade and collecting for LAMB! It's a wonderful way to get your steps in while helping support the Least Among My Brothers!
Our Rosary campaign will continue at the March Parish Breakfast on Sunday, March 17th, where we will also be handing out Rosary wheels and cards. We'll also continue to be offering free breakfasts to new parishioners as part of the WelcomeMatt ministry. And that night we'll be enjoying the fruits of our labor at our 3rd Annual St. Pat's Dinner & Dance.
Also in Lent will be LAMB at 7 Harris Teeter stores on April 6th and Donated Goods on April 13th.
LENT - What are You Doing?
Need I say it? We need volunteers to make these events a success and to raise the funds to support our charities. What a wonderful way to spend Lent - volunteering at one (or more) of our Council's events! JUST DO IT!
Virtus!
I once again ask
every Brother in Our Council, to take the Safe Environment Program training provided by Supreme. Below is the link and registration code

CULTURE of LIFE
Forty Days For Life
Fr. Peter Ascik leads the campaign at the Hebron Abortion Clinic. This link is to the full article in the Catholic News Herald.
Excerpts from the article follows:
 Father Peter Ascik, parochial vicar of St. Matthew Church in Charlotte, prays March 22 in front of the Family Reproductive Health abortion facility on East Hebron Road in Charlotte. Father Ascik is leading the local effort of the national 40 Days For Life campaign at the parish this year. (SueAnn Howell | Catholic News Herald)CHARLOTTE - One of Charlotte's three abortion facilities, Family Reproductive Health, sits in an industrial area just off South Boulevard. Its unassuming location at 700 East Hebron St. belies the fact that 1,500 to 2,000 abortions are committed there each year.
It's not Charlotte's busiest abortion facility - that's A Preferred Women's Health on Latrobe Drive, with more than 3,000 abortions each year - but the Hebron facility's inconspicuous location is one reason why pro-life advocates are paying greater attention to it.
The location has no on-street parking along East Hebron Street and limited parking on Denmark Road - posing a challenge for pro-lifers to come out and publicly witness.
Francesca Sperrazzo, a parishioner of St. Patrick Cathedral in Charlotte, has been praying for years in front of Hebron, often alone. Sperrazzo has noticed that tensions have increased, because as the parking has become more limited, both pro-lifers and pro-abortion advocates vie for those limited number of spaces. People at the Hebron facility even call police when they suspect pro-lifers' cars may be illegally parked, Sperrazzo said.
Sperrazzo says she has repeatedly attempted to get Charlotte city officials to lift the restrictions against on-street parking in front of the Hebron abortion facility, but so far her efforts have been unsuccessful.
"On street parking is generally provided in areas where there is a demand for parking for residences and/or businesses that don't have adequate parking on site. In this area, there is not a demonstrated need for on street parking," explained Allison Naftel of Charlotte Department of Transportation.
Sperrazzo asked a nearby business owner for permission to use his parking lot for a Helpers vigil, but he declined, telling her that he "did not want to get involved in politics," she said.
She presses on, continuing to advocate with the city and neighboring businesses for more parking, especially on Saturdays. In the meantime, she encourages people to park on Denmark Road where parking is permitted or carpool or walk the 0.1-mile distance to the facility.

'Come and be a witness'
CHARLOTTE - Dressed in clerics and quietly praying his rosary, Father Peter Ascik exudes a calming presence in the midst of honking horns and jeers from abortion supporters at the entrance of Family Reproductive Health - one of Charlotte's three abortion facilities.
This year the parochial vicar of St. Matthew Parish in Charlotte is spearheading the local 40 Days For Life campaign for the parish, which began Ash Wednesday and runs until April 14.
Week after week the priest drives over to the Hebron abortion facility, tucked away in an industrial part of the city just off South Boulevard, to pray for the women coming there that day to kill their unborn children. As chaplain for the parish's Respect Life ministry, Father Ascik aims to set an example of prayerful witness on the front lines of the abortion battle at the Hebron Street facility and draw Catholics' attention to the need to come out and pray - despite the sometimes daunting atmosphere.
Abortions take place every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday at Family Reproductive Health.
A tall wooden privacy fence cloaks the facility from public view. Its remote location and limited off-street parking mean fewer people tend to pray there than at Charlotte's two other abortion facilities. Multiple escorts and pro-abortion advocates position themselves at the property's entrance and along the sidewalk holding signs that read "Honk if You are Pro-Choice."
Last Friday, as on previous days, Father Ascik stood quietly on the sidewalk outside the Hebron facility. Joining him were a few local parishioners who prayed with him while holding signs encouraging women to choose life for their unborn children.
It's important for people to stand up for the sanctity of life in front of the abortion facility, he says.
"I am here to witness to the value of unborn babies who are brought here to be killed, and to reach out to their mothers and fathers who may be here too to offer them another choice," he says, and "to testify to their value, as mothers and fathers - the value of their families. And hopefully to inspire them, and pray for them to help them make another choice than the terrible choice of abortion."
Prayer has a definite impact, Father Ascik emphasizes.
"You do meet people who change their minds. Just a few weeks ago at this facility, after praying for several hours in the morning, a woman came back and she said to one of our volunteers, 'It worked. We changed our minds.'"
People have come up to him and thanked him for praying, he says, people who were inside the abortion clinic on that very day who left after changing their minds. "And even if on that day the people don't change their minds, we are here to pray for them, maybe for their conversion down the road."
"We are here to pray for their unborn babies who die here so that someone noticed their death, that someone was there thinking about them and praying for them as well," he adds.
Father Ascik encourages people to join the public, prayerful witness outside Charlotte's abortion mills, especially the Hebron facility as it gets less attention.
"Come out here and see," he says. "All you have to do is come and pray. Let the Holy Spirit lead you. Simply come and be a witness. You will see miracles. I have seen miracles."
UNPLANNED the movie you and your family must see. Beginning Friday, March 29 at the Regal Cinema at Stonecrest. Check their website for show times this week. The movie takes you inside the ugly abortion industry to see the violence that takes so many innocent babies. It tells the story of
Abby Johnson, one of the youngest Planned Parenthood directors in the US. After she is asked to assist in an abortion at thirteen weeks gestation she instead resigns, becoming an anti-abortion activist.
This week make a donation to
Charlotte Catholic Radio and get free tickets to the Unplanned movie. Charlotte Catholic Radio needs our donations to provide Catholic content 24 hours a day in the Charlotte diocese.
Please contact Norman Gemignani to learn more about how you can step up your participation in the Pro-Life effort during Lent and throughout the year.
