Officer Installation Ceremony and Dinner

Our Knights of Columbus Council 6627 Officer’s Installation Ceremony will he held Saturday August 13th at 6 PM (directly following 5 PM Mass) at OLMC.  All Knights and their families are welcome and encouraged to attend. We are starting (or restarting) something new within the Council, a monthly Corporate Mass, where all Knights and their families attend a designated mass and sit together as a group to show our Council unity and OLMC Parish support.  I will be attempting to partition off a portion of the church seating for our group on this evening. If you will be attending, let me know and how many will be in your group by Monday August 8th.

In addition, a dinner will directly follow the Installation Ceremony in McCready Hall. All Knights and their families are welcome, however those wishing to attend the dinner, will need to RSVP to Tom Donnelly (grandknight(at)kofc6627.org) by Monday August 8th.  The cost for the dinner is $20 per person. Please note that if you RSVP for the dinner, you are obligated for however many dinners you RSVP for. I hope to see everyone there!
