Grand Knight's Message

20181017_192449

Grand Knight,

Jonathan De Leon

Donations via the above QR code are deposited directly to our back account.
Dear Brothers, Family, and Friends,

Wow! What a momentous event we had.

I would like to thank everyone that participated, especially Dave Adams and Harley Juth who arrived early and left late for each of the set ups, coffee making and sale after the masses including the 7:30 AM.

We received baked goods and help from many of our members, from the most senior, PGK Al Logiudice to the most junior, Andrew Bunsa. Andrew is an amazing wrapper!

This year's bake sale measured up to our tradition. We participated as council members, parishioners, family, and friends to sell and buy some great homemade as well as purchased baked goods to raise funds for our charities. And we came through! Because of your charity we raised close to $1000 which will be donated to the needy.

A special thank you to the ladies of the CCW who so generously provided baked goods and to all the parishioners of Blessed Sacrament Parish who purchased them!

If you have not yet contributed to this event, it's not too late, please scan the Venmo QR code on the side to donate online.

Our next event will be 4 weeks from now, Saturday March 11 serving breakfast at the Little Friends of Jesus to help our neighbors across the street!

Vivat Jesus,

Jon De Leon
Grand Knight

Exemplification Ceremony

The Knights of Columbus has revised the degree program; it is now one Exemplification Ceremony which combines 1st. (Charity) 2nd. Unity and 3rd. Fraternity, our Orders' principles. The one degree is now the Charity, Unity and Fraternity (CUF) degree. The 4th (Patriotism) continues to be a distinct event.


The link below includes a video of the ceremony. Take the time to view this video as a refresher as to what the nights are about and why you joined and to help you explain to your family who the Knights are, what we stand for and what we do.
