FATHER CAPODANNO DINNER DANCE
|
On the delightful evening of Friday, June 6th, the Father Capodanno Assembly 2413 came together in the spirit of camaraderie and unity at St. Jude Parish Hall in beautiful Lewes, DE, for their much-anticipated Annual Dinner/Dance. With the mouthwatering catering by Nicola Pizza, the air was filled with the tantalizing aroma of delicious food that beckoned attendees to savor every bite. The gathering was not just a feast for the stomach but also a celebration of fellowship, as Third Degree Knights were warmly invited to join their Fourth Degree brethren, creating an atmosphere rich in connection and joy. The Father Capodanno Assembly, as the Patriotic Degree of the Knights of Columbus, exemplifies the council's unwavering commitment to community and faith, reminding us all that together we can achieve great things. The event was graced by the presence of Paul Dombrowski, the Faithful Navigator of the assembly and a proud member of the Msgr. Desmond Council in Lewes, who surely had his hands full ensuring everyone was having a fantastic time! So, if you missed this wonderful occasion, mark your calendars for next year—after all, who wouldn’t want to enjoy great food, laughter, and the warmth of friendship while supporting the noble mission of service and support that binds our community together?

𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗗𝗢 𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗦 𝗠𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗥𝗢𝗦𝗦 𝗕𝗘𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗚𝗢𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗟
Many things happen during the Catholic Mass that we often participate in without fully knowing their meaning. Sometimes, even practicing Catholics find themselves wondering:
"Why do we do this?"
"What does that gesture mean?"
One of those moments of quiet mystery happens just before the Gospel reading, when the priest or deacon proclaims:
“A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew...”
The congregation responds:
"Glory to you, O Lord,"
and at that moment, everyone makes three small signs of the Cross—on the forehead, lips, and heart.
But why?
The Meaning Behind the Gesture:
This triple sign of the Cross is more than a ritual—it’s a silent prayer. With this gesture, each Catholic is asking:
1. On the forehead: May the Word of God be in my thoughts.
2. On the lips: May the Word of God be on my lips and in my speech.
3. On the heart: May the Word of God live in my heart and shape my love.
It is a personal moment of devotion and preparation, asking God that His Gospel may transform our minds, guide our words, and purify our hearts.
A Beautiful Tradition
This practice has roots going back over a thousand years in Church history and shows the deep reverence the Church gives to the Gospel. It reminds us that we are not just listeners of the Word—we are called to live it out.
So next time you trace that little cross on your forehead, lips, and heart, remember what you’re truly saying:
“Lord, may Your Word be in my mind, on my lips, and in my heart. Amen.”
