Good Morning Athanasius ,

First, I'd like to thank our Worthy Advocate, Ray McNamara, and all our brother Knights and their families for the hard work and dedication in helping to successfully pull off our first ever Paul Dickinson Memorial Summer Slam for Life. There is no doubt in my mind that Paul was smiling down at us that evening as we nearly reached our monetary goal for the Beacon of Light Pregnancy Support Center.

Our next business meeting will be on Thursday, July 14. Keeping in mind our $5,000 goal for the Beacon of Light, we cannot and we will not rest on our laurels. Next Thursday, we'll be focusing on fundraising plans and strategies to pursue this goal. I hope to see you all there!

I also ask that you please continue to keep Charles Giles in your prayers as he recovers from the coronavirus and underlying lung issues.

Blessed Fr. Michael J. McGivney, pray for us!

Vivat Jesus,

Kevin St. Pierre, GK

Paul Dickinson Memorial Summer Slam for Life

To our many brother Knights and fellow Knights and Columbiettes from several locations, we thank you for all your hard work to help us host the First Annual Paul Dickinson Memorial Summer Slam for Life. On Friday, June 24, wrestlers from East Cost Professional Wrestling (ECPW) battled it out in front of a large audience, with the proceeds collected slated for Saint Joseph's Parish and the Beacon of Light Pregnancy Support Center

For more than a decade, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Council 13300 has assisted Hands of Mercy Everywhere (HOME), a Christian-based residential group home for teenage girls and pregnant or parenting teens in the foster care system. "Our goal is to change the hearts and minds of society about abortion, that we love both the mother and child before and after birth," said Grand knight Gerry Haggerty.
