4 Dear Brothers, On July 14,2015 we held our Installation of Officers and it was a delightful and graceful evening. We are grateful to Father Kovanis for his support, loyalty and Prayers during the ceremony. Thank you to District Deputy Fran Nasson for clearing his calendar to make the installation happen within our time schedule. A most hearty Thank You to the Ladies Auxiliary who were superb in the handling and presentation of the tasty lite dinner afterwards. Brothers we have an active schedule coming rapidly toward us and we need all the participation of our Knights. September we are having an Italian Dinner, please support this event, tickets sales are needed by everyone. See the details for the menu. This is going to be a fun event. Starting in September we are going to support the children in the Faith Formation class by preparing a meal for them once a month, the dates will be sent to all Knights via . This will only take a brother and wife or a few brothers to prepare the meal. Times needed are 4:30 PM = 6:30 PM as the children will be attending religious classes later. This program also fulfills a Youth Activity for our council. These will be simple meals such as hot dogs, chips, and a drink etc. If this is something you could help with please call me, or e- mail michaelmccluskey16@gmail.com. We are also going to have an Oktoberfest, October 22, This should be a fun event, check over the details page in this newsletter. Val Korolevich has arranged for the Exemplification of nine Knights to the 4th Degree. Thank you Val for the hard work. October 12, 2015 is Columbus Day. Paul Carren has arranged to have the following Knights serve at the 8:00 AM Mass. Lector, Paul Carren, EM s John Burgess and Don Mangers, Altar Servers, John Kemper and Larry Seick we will also have Knights present the gifts. Please make every effort to attend this Mass at 8:00 AM. Let s not just talk about our commitment to the Church, let s show it. Please wear your blue shirts and let the parish know we are truly committed. Brothers with the snow-birds cooling off up north at this time, the Church is in need of people to take part in the many ministries that go on. More EM s, Altar Servers, Ushers, etc are needed. Our Knights take care of Adoration, Lenten Service and various other ministries. I was scanning the roster the other day and counted thirty one Knights that are active in Church Ministries I know there many more however that just gives you an idea how we impact our parish. God Bless Michael McCluskey Grand Knight PAGE 4
