A Message From the Grand Knight

Good Morning Athanasius ,


I ask all Council Officers to please RSVP to this email or via text to confirm your attendance at our next business meeting on Thursday, September 8. Keeping in mind our $5,000 goal for the Beacon of Light, we'll continue focusing on fundraising plans and strategies to pursue this objective.


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
