Exemplification at St Anthony's

Worthy Brother Knights,

Reminder, we are having a district-wide Exemplification for degrees 1 - 3 at
1PM, and 4TH degree at 2PM, this upcoming Saturday, February 24TH at St.
Anthony's O'Reilly Hall. Please invite any practicing Catholic man, 18 years
of age or older, to join our prestigious council.

For any knight seeking to complete the 4TH degree, here is your opportunity
this Saturday.

Please contact me with any prospects and I will be delighted to get them
squared-away for this Saturday.  Let's bring in new brothers to Our Lady of
the Valley Council!

On March 3rd, Oregon State Council is hosting Holy Hour at the Cathedral
with Archbishop Sample at 2PM.  Brothers, please make time with our Lord
during Lent. The world needs our prayers and here is a stellar opportunity
to join your brother knights in Holy Prayer. (See attachment) We can meet at
St. Anthony's and carpool to the Cathedral.  If anyone needs a ride, please
let me know. 

Thank you brothers!

Let's make a difference!

Holy Trinity, "Have mercy on us!"

Your brother in Christ,

Sal Arellano

A big thank you to all of our breakfast volunteers

Another successful breakfast is in the books. Was a bit more expensive on the food- $202- but we still netted $449.

Here's some video of our two larger rushes. We served 156 breakfasts this morning.

2nd Call for St. Clare Breakfast Volunteers

 Email Ted Seeber seebert42@gmail.com to volunteer.  We're good on setup Saturday night, but could use more help Sunday 7am-10:30 am, and especially with cleanup, 12pm-2pm.
