The OLMC Knights of Columbus would like to thank all of those involved, in this year’s Golf Tournament, for making it such a huge success.

This year’s tournament proceeds surpassed our prior events, raising $3,000 in funds to benefit the Aid to Women Center pregnancy and medical center.

We also dedicated this year’s tournament, to the passing of OLMC Brother Knight Andy Soesilo. Andy was one of the Tournament Founders and involved in making every tournament a success since its start. In his memory, a donation of $500 made to the organization that Andy founded, the PKKA in support of the Christian Education of Indonesian Children.

Please remember our generous sponsors and support their business activities.  A complete list can be found here.

Pictures from the event have been posted on our Facebook page.

We will hold our installation of Officers Ceremony for the coming fraternal year Saturday, August 15th following the 5:00PM Mass at OLMC. We will have a dinner celebration immediately following in McCready Hall catered by Waldo’s BBQ. We will be asking the members to kick in $20 per person to support the costs of the dinner if you plan to attend.

Please RSVP to [email protected] by Tues Aug 11th if you plan to attend and if you are bringing a guest.

Please come out to support your officers.

Your prayers work!  Here’s an email from our KofC 40 Days for Life Chairman:

I wanted to share a praise report from our prayer this morning in front of Chandler Planned Parenthood. 

 

A woman came to us on the sidewalk and told us every time she drives by and sees prayer warriors she begins to cry. Her name is Nicole. 

 

Nicole shared that years ago she was diagnosed with breast cancer, but through medical treatment she is now cancer free. 

 

Three months after the cancer was gone, she became pregnant. Her doctor, family, and friends told her she needed to end her pregnancy, but seeing prayer warriors in front of Planned Parenthood convinced her to keep the child living in her womb. This child is now a very healthy four-year old boy. She thanked us for being out there praying for an end to abortion. 

 

We thanked her for her testimony and then she allowed us to pray over her. 

 

It was a beautiful moment, I wanted to share. 

 

God bless you, 

Mike Rimbey
