From Grand Knight Dave Buckles:
Hello Brother Knights!
Happy New Year! It is a short week this week and our meeting has sneaked up on us. I hope you all can make it as we have a lot to discuss, plan, and do in the next two weeks. Here are some highlights:
- Epiphany this coming weekend. Father would like to have all three kings processing in each mass. We need young volunteers. Jeremy and his son, Lucias, have volunteered for the 8:30 AM, so we need one more for that mass. We need coverage for the Saturday 5:00 PM mass and Sunday’s 11:00 AM mass. According to Melody Ryan (Liturgy Chair) and Bill Karutz, they are looking for young people to do this. Melody is out until January 8th, so she asked the Knights if they could help this year. Bill Karutz is knowledgeable about this procession and can explain in the meeting what is involved, and any training needed.
- Cemetery of the Innocents: Setup is 9-11:00 AM this Saturday and the completion will be after the 8:30 AM mass on Sunday. Please let us know if you can come help so we know how much coffee and donuts to bring.
- Trivia Night: A week from Saturday, January 13th after the 5:00 mass. Setup & meals from 6-7:00, with Trivia starting at 7:00. Steve has put a lot of work into this, as well as Rhonda Head and Al Dodak from Pax Christi, who have guided us and who are donating their time to help us put on this event. We counted 8 tables reserved so far and have ~5 more names of people who have said they would like a table but have not reserved. Here is what we need:
- If you are going to purchase a table, bring cash or check to Steve tomorrow night to reserve the table. I think this is likely to be a sellout and those who have put their money down will get a table for sure. If you don’t want an entire table but want to join a table, bring $20 for an individual ticket to reserve your place.
- If you are not going to purchase a table or a ticket but want to help, we are going to need about 6 volunteers: 1 to run the drinks, 1 to collect at the door, a couple of runners and a couple of miscellaneous workers to fill in the gaps, such as judging, scoring, etc. We would like to have these people lined up tomorrow night.
We will also have the K of C “Into the Breach” tomorrow on our new 65” flat screen. Tomorrow’s lesson is about families and is very powerful. And don’t forget about family of the month, our CUBS drive (there is still time to bring in your coats, underwear, blankets, and socks) and our rosary for many of our members and families and friends.
Finally, we will be having an officer’s meeting soon and need to plan a night when we can meet at Giovanni’s. Spouses are welcome. This meeting is in appreciation for all our officers do and a little planning on our monthly calendar for 2024.
Vivat Jesus!
