Council 6627 has paired with the City of the Lord group to provide a donation to the Knights of Columbus Christian Refugee Relief Fund. The City of the Lord recently raised $814 in donations that our Council is chipping in $186, to make an even $1,000 donation. One of the primary functions of this fund is to help the Christians in Syria who are being persecuted or forced to relocate. See more on this worthy cause at:
Golf Tournament Ticket Sales
We are also starting our Golf Tournament (May 6th) signups this weekend. At whatever mass you attend, stop by the sign-up table in the Shrine Area to help assist with signups and passing out brochures for the tournament. Signups will continue after all Mass Times from this weekend through April 29th weekend. As Kevin Saunders from the Arizona Bible class states “Come out and help Golf for God!”. Thanks again to Rudy Gradillas for coordinating this as our Golf Tournament Director this year!
