Grand Knight Report

A September to Remember
Before we look ahead into October, let’s take a minute to review what we did in September. After we all paused to catch our collective breath on Labor Day, we got busy with a few other activities. First, about two dozen knights, family members and members of the parish gathered in the main sanctuary of the church on Saturday, Sept. 11th to commemorate those who lost their lives in the Al Qaeda attacks on New York and Washington. Beginning at 8:46am – the time the first of the hijacked airliners hit the World Trade Center – we recited the Rosary. Afterward, parishioners commented that we should do this every year. We will definitely consider it.
Also on the 11th, the Council was called upon to serve coffee and doughnuts to parish members as they completed the important parish survey. And finally, we gathered at the North wing of church on Friday, September 24th, for fellowship and food at the September family social. At the social, we presented many awards, including: A “Past Grand Knight” certificate to our immediate PGK Fil Cuesta. Knight of the Month honors for Brother Bill Partridge and Cornelius Egwatu, for August and September, respectively. Also, Family of the Month honors for the families of Dick Beaudry and Jason Colletta, again for August and September, respectively. Finally at the Social, we honored Deacon Dick Beaudry with his Life Membership card and certificate. Our council is very blessed to have benefited from Deacon Dick’s vast KofC experience, as he is a PGK, former District Deputy, and one of those responsible for the establishment of our council. Thank you, Deacon Dick (and thanks to your wife, Bonnie)!
