Calling all handymen - SJF railing removal

Dear Brother Knights,
  St. John Fisher will be having new railings installed this week.  To be ready for it, we need to remove the old wood railings.  If you can help with removal, we are doing this Wednesday evening, August 31, at 6:30 pm.  Meet outside the church.  If you have a ratchet set, bring it.  Thanks and God bless.

Need somebody who wants to help with soccer

Our friend Michael Chau just found out he's got a conflict with the St. Clare Picnic- same day as Special Olympics Volleyball Skills Test.  Anybody able to help Mike Devlin with the Soccer?

Why are you a Knight?

Dear Brother Knights,
  At our meeting last night, as Ted Seeber is preparing to speak for a membership drive at St. Clare's in October, the suggestion was made for us all to write a brief statement about why we are knights?  Such a statement is a good recruitment tool in our individual conversations with parishioners.  It is similar to answering why we are Catholics.  It is a good reflective/prayerful activity.

  What I am asking is that we each write a one page statement of why we are knights.  By this I mean:  how did we become knights, what inspired us to join and what value we find in being a knight.  This is not required, but purely optional.
 
  You can write it up and then post it as a reply to this post.

  I think this will be inspirational for all of us and beneficial as a recruiting tool.

  God bless.
    Deacon Scott

 

 

My dear Brother Knights,
   A reminder that we have our monthly council meeting this coming Monday, August 15th at 7 pm in the Fireside Room at St. Clare.

  Please join us if possible.

  Let me know of any agenda items.

  Mother Mary, on your upcoming feast, pray for us.

July Volunteer hours are due

Sorry, forgot to put this post out earlier.  Too many people had errors with the PDF form, so Click Here for the New Monthly Reporting Form: http://informationr.us/JohnClareCouncilMonthlyReporting.html. This has now been updated to send to GK Deacon Scott. Hopefully it will work in all modern browsers. Remember, volunteer hours reported for our council for the previous month, are due by the 10th of each month, so that Deacon Scott has time to fill out the forms.

Knights of Columbus Meeting Monday, August 15 at 7pm

Ted intends to have the meeting room open at 6.  If we can get somebody experienced with hanging doors, we can put the doors back on the left closet before the meeting.

For those of you with friends who are parents at St. Clare's

Fr. Don Gutman has just announced that volunteering with the Knights, if the father is a member of the Knights, will count for family volunteering hours for school tuition.

Challenge to Fr. Richard and Grand Knight Deacon Scott- can we get this for recruiting at SJF as well?
