**December Coats for Kids Distribution- Please join your Brother Knights at St. Vincent De Paul's on December 21 to help out with distributing coats.
**Advent Spiritual Fast- In the spirit of Advent, we will be coordinating with others to grow in our faith during the Advent season, which begins on Sunday, December 1st. We will send out an email later this week with some ideas for our council.

In December, we will begin preparing to discuss plans for assisting in the March for Life, which will occur on Friday, January 24th, 2020. St. Joseph's and St. Peter's will need assistance with hospitality during this time, so we will begin discussing this at the next business meeting.
As always, please let us know if you have any ideas. Thanks you for all you do for our parishes and our council.

Vivat Jesus!

Your Council Leadership Team
