BROTHER KNIGHTS,
Greetings all, I hope everyone had a great summer. I would like to once again Congratulate Fr. Bret Stockdale SJ on his 20 years of being a Jesuit and 10 years of being a Priest. It was a great celebration with family, friends and Knights from all around. I also want to once again thank SK Don Morgan PGK for all of his hard work and dedication to our council. We had a wonderful time at his testimonial. We have a lot of great things coming up this fall. Please keep your eyes out for all the flyers in the lounge and on Facebook. Our next big event is Oktoberfest on Friday October 13th. Please make sure to RSVP.
I look forward to working with the Board to make this year the best one yet.
VIVAT JESUS! BE SAFE! GOD BLESS!
SK Chris Hegmann,
Grand Knight
