Hospitality Teams

At our recent meetings we agreed as a council that we want to reach out to our brothers who are sick and distressed.  If you would like to support this effort all are welcome!  The more we reach out to our brothers the more we live out our Founders vision.

Thank you to everyone in advance for their dedication and willingness to reach out to our fellow brothers in need. - John Steele GK

Knights Social - Ethnic Night

Would you like to share your ethnic food with your council family at a potluck social event?  This would be a fun way to broaden everyone's background to the many ethnic cultures that we don't normally get exposed to.

This is your chance to share your favorite food representing your ethnic background. You can bring anything from appetizers, main course or desert (or all three if you want) to share with all in attendance.  We hope to fill the parish center with great smells of food and lots of friendship of our Knights families and friends. If you have a prospective member you are trying to get to join, why not bring them as well! We will have some beer, wine, and soda’s, but if you have a specific drink you like to have with your ethnic meal, bring it.

The dinner will be held at the social meeting Jan. 19th at 6:30 in the Parish Center.  For more information, contact the Council Activities Program Director.

Father Wayne's House Fix-up

Update: Fr. Wayne has now transferred to Council 11138!

We have eight brothers signed up for this project scheduled on January 21st starting at 9:00 am to 11:30 am.  We may schedule a secondary day depending on the number of projects and the number of workers that volunteer to help.  Jeff Wingfield and I (John Steele) plan to meet there before hand to create the list of things that need to be done.  This will hopefully allow us to properly plan the day.

We would LOVE to have everyone participate.  Father Wayne has been a very supportive voice for the Knights, and this would be a nice way to have his back.

Fatima for Today

Dr. Ortiz Council  13525 (St. Timothy’s Catholic Church) will be hosting an all day devotional to Our Lady of Fatima on Saturday 21 Jan. Attached is the agenda of activities including guest speakers.

39 years ago this month, the Supreme Court legalized abortion in the United States.  The results have been devastating.  Millions of lives destroyed, and so many women and men later lamenting their irrevocable decision to abort their child.   The Right to Life weekend is Jan. 21 and we will be praying to end abortion.
