On January 21-22, after all masses, Knights are needed to assist in handing out bottles for the Aid to Women’s Center fundraising drive.  The bottles are handed out and can be filled with change and returned to OLMC the weekend of February 18-19.  Knights will be needed to assist in collecting the returned bottles on Feb 18-19 as well.

On January 5, 2017, our Worthy Recorder, Duane Campbell, attended his 200th consecutive meeting.  Duane is a long-time member of the Council and can always be counted on to support our many activities and initiatives.  Thanks for your support and continued service, Duane.  Congratulations!!!

A check for the proceeds from our 2016 Golf Tournament was presented to the Sister Servants of the Plan of God, who will be housed at OLMC and will be helping to support the many ministries of the parish as well as other spiritual and charitable activities within the community.  Welcome to OLMC!  We look forward to having you in the parish family.

Our Council Christmas Party is scheduled for Saturday 12/17!  We will be holding a “Corporate Mass” for all members at the 5 PM Mass and then adjourning to the hall for the Christmas Party.  All Knights and their families are asked to bring a side dish (or desert).  The Council will be providing Fried Chicken, Soda and other beverages.  Brother Knight Jacob Hayton will be helping to coordinate this event.  Please email [email protected] if you plan to attend and if you will be bringing any little ones. Also, please let us know what dish you will be bringing. Children of course are welcome and we are hoping to have a special guest for them… Christmas music, dinner and fellowship with your brother Knights and their families, please come!

The KofC annual “Light up for Christmas” ceremony is Wednesday 12/7 after the 7 PM Vigil Mass outside the church. The ceremony starts at/around 8 PM. The set up will start at 6:30 PM and we should be done by 8:30 PM, with all cleanup completed by 9:00 PM.  We are asking all Knights to bring a baked good to the Light up ceremony.  Knights will provide hot cocoa and coffee. We also need help setting up the trees the weekend before. Pat Kedrowski will be coordinating this event and the assembly of the trees to start at OLMC in the courtyard on Saturday 12/3 at about 9 AM and decorating of the trees on Sunday 12/4 at about 1-4 PM.  We hope to see you and your families there!

Brothers, Council 6627 has been invited to participate in 24 Hours of Adoration in Thanksgiving for the Year of Mercy.  Adoration runs from November 18 at 6pm to November 19 at 6pm and is located at OLMC in the South Deanery.  Fr.
