Brothers,
Thank you to all those who participated at Father Luke's farewell party setup and takedown. United as a council with our fellow parishioners, we provided much-needed support in very trying times.
I would like to make a special mention of the family support from Br. Harley and Carole Juth and Br. Bill, Ketrin, and Maxim Maxwell during the takedown, a great example of the "new" Knights of Columbus.
Than you to all that participated in any way to make this a great event!
Vivat Jesu,
PGK Manny Cirne

Grand Knight's Message

Brothers, Sir Knights, Family, and Friends,
Happy Labor Day to all!
Thank you for your support at Fr. Luke's Farewell last weekend!
Welcome Msgr. Robert Medley!
We are planning a Blessed Sacrament WELCOME BACK Sunday coffee and doughnuts and an opportunity to celebrate our Priests. We will have our new Monsignor in September perhaps we can coordinate the timing with CCW and Rosary Society. I am suggesting we create a committee (6-8 brothers) to assist in planning and managing the food handling and distribution. This will spread the workload and alleviate the pressure on those few Brothers who have ‘Carried the torch” in the past.
Gentlemen, I ask for as much of our MEMBERSHIP’S INVOLVEMENT as possible this Columbian Year. There are several Members who have gone above and beyond and have recommitted to hold office again relinquishing their personal time and energy to help keep this Council ALIVE and to continue into the future. Regardless of the AMOUNT of time or commitment you can provide, we ALL need to HELP! Many hands make for light work.
Thank you and God Bless,
Vincent Scafuto

As a member of the United States Coast Guard assigned to the USS Samuel Chase, Frank served as a gunner’s mate third class and crewed a Higgins boat on 15 D-Day landings. Frank was a part of the first wave, on June 6, 1944, that brought the Big Red One into Omaha Beach, and to this day still wonders how he survived.
