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

Help from Brother Knights is needed to prepare, serve and clean up. Setup begins at 3:30pm and cleanup is finished by about 8:00 pm. Bring the family. Your children and wife will hug you for your generosity. And, back by popular demand, FISH TACOS!!! Please join us.

The OLMC Knights of Columbus would like to thank all of those involved, in this year’s event, for making it such a huge success. This year’s tournament far surpassed our prior events, for helping raise funds to benefit our sponsored Seminarians (to include our new Priest, Father Scott Sperry, and Seminarian, Anthony Dang) along with other charitable activities. A complete list of tournament sponsors is available here. Please remember them for your business needs. Finally, we would not be a success without the participation of our golfers. Thank you again.
