Knights of Columbus – Council 12025The wonderful Sr. Shea inspired not only the Knights but all of our Our Lady of Lourdes Parish community to rise up and assist homeless children in Kenya. Great job everyone! A special shout out to Max and Full Fat Cow Tallow for some amazing Tallow cooked fries! I’ve cooked a few fries with the Knights and these were the best!
We welcomed two new Brothers today- Jesse D. & Brian P to our Council. What a great evening of fellowship! We can’t wait to start serving Christ with you. Vivat Jesus Thanks to our Regional DD and State Membership Director and all our Brothers for coming out! If you check out ALL the pictures, you will receive a special treat.
Congratulations to Anthony (Cajetan) our Knight of the Month for April. Anthony is a 4th Degree Knight for over 10 years. His dedication to the church and the Knights overflows. We recently were informed that he will be leaving the area. We will miss your smile and the example you set for us all. God bless you, Brother!
We are humbled by the fantastic support we received from the parishioners of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish! What an amazing turnout! We sure hope you enjoyed it! We sold everything we had! These fundraisers allow us to support many great charities as well as church and school events! We all hope you have a wonderful Easter season!
Knights joined the afternoon crew from Our Lady of Lourdes at Rise Against Hunger packaging food to go Haiti and Madagascar. They had to stop us early because we met our 2000 meal goal so fast! It feels so good doing this kind of work!
Busy day! A Day for Him is always heartwarming! To see so many people come out to do Christ’s work on Earth, is AWESOME! We’re so glad we could kick it off with a delicious pancake breakfast. Thanks to everyone who came out and ALL who donate their time, talent or treasure for this work.
