A Message From the Grand Knight

Good Morning Athanasius ,


Calling all officers -- please RSVP to this email or via text to confirm your attendance at our next business meeting on Thursday, August 11. Keeping in mind our $5,000 goal for the Beacon of Light, we'll continue focusing on fundraising plans and strategies to pursue this goal.


It is with a heavy heart that I reiterate the passing of Bill Myers PGK. Bill served as the 33rd Grand Knight of our council from 1964-1966 and was our oldest living member at 96. Please keep Bill and his family in your prayers.


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
