Worthy Sirs: Today, I’d like to talk to you on the lost art of saying thanks. Here’s a story that I read just recently. There was this kid that was fat, short and awkward with no natural talent. But he loved basketball and tried really hard every day until he finally made the team. One […]

FN’s Report – Mar 17th, 2013.
Worthy Sirs: Happy Saint Patrick’s Day. As you all probably know, Saint Patrick was abducted from his family as a boy of 14 and taken to Ireland as a slave to the Druids, who had no belief in God. Through constant prayer, God revealed to him a way to escape, which he finally did, returning […]
FN’s Report – Feb 17th 2013
Worthy Sirs: Is it time for us to be peculiar? I came across the following article about Lent and I would like to read it to you as part of my Report. The liturgy of Ash Wednesday — both the Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours — gives us plenty to think about. The […]

orthy Sirs: So says the leper to Jesus, when he knelt in front of our saviour. And of course, the Good Lord did, and made him clean. As Catholic gentlemen, and to a greater degree, as 4th degree knights, we should all be lepers. Yes, that’s right, you heard me. Lepers. To be a leper […]
FN’s Report – Jan 8th, 2012.
orthy Sirs: As Saint Matthew reports, Herod said this to the Magi with the utmost sincerity in his eyes. We know better now, of course. Secrets, whispers, deception, lies, ego…these are the stuff real life is made of! We encounter the Herods of the world every single day of our lives. At work, at home, […]
FN’s Report – Dec 11th, 2011.
orthy Sirs: And so goes the words of John the Baptist in today’s gospel. He was not the light, but came to testify to the light. What a revelation! Sure it may seem old hat to many of us, after all, most of us have been Catholic for a very long time, and every now […]
