4 Let's celebrate 125 years of NCSF! On July 17, 2016, National Catholic Society of Foresters will celebrate its 125th Anniversary as a fraternal society. What a wonderful time for NCSF! We are sure that the eleven women who started the Society would never have imagined that after all this time, it would still be running strong. How blest we are! We can imagine that they are looking down on us saying, "Look at what we established way back then." In order for all of us to celebrate together, we are asking your court presidents to arrange for your parish to schedule a Mass of thanksgiving on July 17 in recognition of the National Catholic Society of Foresters' 125 years of service. We hope the day is available on the parish schedule – then, if you live nearby you can join in this Mass of celebration and thanksgiving! DoNt Forget to take piCtureS! pictures of your group before or after this special Mass can be sent to Jennifer at the Home Office so we can put them in the magazine, on Facebook, etc. How wonderful to have NCSF courts throughout the country prayerfully celebrating together on Founders' Day! Get the word out! Celebrate by bringing together your family and friends! Let us all join in thanking the Lord for 125 years of caring and serving. YEARS THE FIRST BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
