A Catholic Brotherhood On A Mission to Change The World.

Greetings Brothers,First and foremost, I want to extend a warm welcome to each and every one of you as we embark on a new year here at Ludlow Council 3535. As we step into 2025, we stand at a pivotal moment—a moment full of promise and possibility. As a council, we are on the verge of incredible change, and we are stepping into the spring with energy and excitement. There are endless opportunities ahead of us, and we are ready to take on the challenge of making them a reality.This year, we’re focusing on greater community involvement and building strong, lasting relationships with our surrounding churches and their pastors. Through collaboration, we’re opening new doors and exploring ways to support each other in meaningful ways. Additionally, we’re committed to working more closely with neighboring councils, learning from one another, and helping where we can.We hold fast to the core values of our brotherhood—charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism. These values will remain the foundation of everything we do. Our mission is clear: to serve our community and churches, and to be there for those who need us most. We are in this together, and our collective strength is what drives us forward.I am thrilled to welcome new members who have joined our ranks. Your energy and commitment are truly valued, and we are excited to continue building this brotherhood with each of you. For those who are new to the community or are interested in becoming part of our council, please know that our doors are always open. We would love to have you with us as we move forward together.I couldn’t be more proud of our officers, trustees, and all our members who have worked tirelessly to put our calendar of events into action. The volunteer work we’re doing for so many worthy organizations has been nothing short of inspiring. The impact we are making is real, and it is a testament to the strength and dedication of this council.Finally, let us not forget those among us, and in our community, who need our prayers and support. Whether someone is facing illness, hardship, or personal struggles, it is our responsibility to stand by them, to offer our help, and to lift them up in prayer. If you know of anyone in need of special intentions, please bring them forward so we can lift them up together.I want to thank each of you for your dedication to the principles of our order. Your support means everything, and I look forward to what the future holds. With God’s grace, and the intercession of Blessed Father Michael J. McGivney, I am confident that we will continue to make a positive and lasting difference in the months ahead.
Let’s embrace this year with enthusiasm, and may our efforts shine brightly for all to see.In brotherhood,Vivat Jesus
