Upcoming Winter Exemplification - REMINDER


Brother Knights - 
The next 4th Degree Winter Exemplification is scheduled for February 24th.  All those interested in advancing to this level please let me know no later than the January Business Meeting so the paperwork can be filled out and processed timely.
 
Thank you for prayerfully considering taking this next step to obtaining the title of Sir Knight and continuing in your service to the community and church.

Thanks,

Thanks!

Thank you to the brother Knights that were able to assist with Wednesday's Council Basketball Free Throw Competition and Saturday's District Competition as well.  Once again our very own youth, Gemma Lespreance is going on to the Diocesan level and hopefully on to State this year too.  Way to go Gemma - we are rooting for you (far left in picture below).   

 
   
In addition - THANKS goes out to the Brother Knights and their families that represented the KofC in this weekend's Lone Rose Ceremony in remembrance of the infamous Supreme Court ruling of Roe v Wade.

And last but not least thanks to those that helped out with Super Bowl BBQ pre-sale orders after all masses this weekend too!

Super Bowl BBQ - REMINDER


Brothers,

We will be taking pre-sale orders for Angus Briskets (whole and 1/2) until Sunday evening, January 28th, 7 pm.  We are also taking pre-orders for our regular BBQ items for those that want to ensure we will have their Super Bowl Sunday meal items available.   If you hear of anyone wanting to place an order please refer them to Brother Greg Nemec or myself.  We will need a lot of help with the Super Bowl cook the weekend of February 3rd and 4th and will appreciate any and all assistance available.

If you are able to assist with pre-orders this final weekend please let me know (832) 755-8239 or come out to the plaza after the Mass you attend.


Thanks,
GK David Hobson
  
Upcoming Events - REMINDER 


Brothers,

Lent is fast approaching which brings with it the Mardi Gras Pancake Cook, weekly Fish Frys and our 40 Cans for Lent Food Drive.  Please let me know if interested in co-chairing a event.  As you know - the Fish Fry is our number one fundraiser of the year and takes many hands to ensure its success.  With a few years now under our belt the ordering process and handling of product should be much more smooth this year.  Please prayerfully consider and let me know (832) 755-8239.

Upcoming Meetings - REMINDER


Brothers,

Our Sacred Heart Lenten Mission is scheduled for Monday through Wednesday, February 26th - 28th.  During this time Father Joseph has asked no meetings be held so all can attend the mission.  Please note that our 4th Tuesday KC Business Meeting, normally held 2/27, will be moved to the 3rd Tuesday in February, 2/20.  The 2nd Tuesday Mardi Gras Pancake Cook on 2/13 will be considered our Council/
Social Meeting.


Thanks,
GK
