Brothers -

Thanks to all the brother knights and families that came out to assist with our sixth and final Lenten fish fry of the season!  It was nice to meet the RCIA Elect and Candidates we hosted for dinner.  Special thanks to this year's Fish Fry Chairs - Brother Chris Adams and wife, Tara!

Thanks to the brother knights that helped with the collection of food from our 40 Cans for Lent Food Drive this final weekend as well.  We appreciate Brother Karl Hennings stepping up and chairing the campaign again this year and also appreciate the Mass Captains - could not have done it without you...

40 Cans for Lent 2018:

Week 1   -    670 lbs.
Week 2  -  1,060 lbs.
Week 3  -  1,038 lbs.
Week 4  -  1,553 lbs
Week 5  -  1,670 lbs
Week 6   - 1,787 lbs
TOTAL  =   7,778 lbs

Plus 2 - $500 cash donations ($1,000)
FYI - 2017 total was almost the same (7,878 lbs)

Thanks to those Brother Knights that assisted with this weekend's BBQ in prep, cook and sales.    

And last but certainly not least - thanks to those that helped with the set up and/or take down of Sunday's St. Luke Production!!

Thank you to all- 
David Hobson, GK
  
Requesting Funds for Eagle Project
 
BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA

To whom it may concern:
My name is Luis Fernando Sanchez.  I live in Richmond, TX and attend Travis High School.  I began my scouting adventure at age 6 with the Cub Scouts, and at 10 moved up to Boy Scouts.  I am now a Life Scout with Troop 1002 in Richmond, Texas having completed 33 merit badges, held several positions of responsibilities, including Senior Patrol Leader, and been very active with the growth of our troop and its activities.  My long journey is now at the point where I am working toward earning the highest and most honored rank in Scouting, that of Eagle Scout.
 
To earn the Eagle rank I must plan, develop, and provide leadership to others in a service project helpful to the community.  For my Eagle Scout Project, I have chosen to help Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Richmond Texas.  The Church is in need of an outside area where parishioners can pray and mediate while outside, a Prayer Garden between the Church and the Family Life Center next to the center where there is currently of statue of Jesus will be constructed.  The Prayer Garden will be in the shape of a half circle with two benches on each side will be placed allowing people to sit and pray.  The Garden will be dedicated in memory of the unborn babies
 
It is a big project that will require many hours of labor and approximately $3000 in materials.  As part of my project, I am required to raise funds for the materials necessary for the construction of this project.  Any financial assistance you can offer to help me achieve my goal of completing this project will be greatly appreciated.  No amount is too small, and in the unlikely event any funds remain after the project is finished, they will go directly to the church.
 
I have set up a GoFundMe account so donations can be made online using the following web address https://www.gofundme.com/luis-f-boy-scout-eagle-project.  If you prefer to mail a check, please make check payable to Luis Sanchez with Eagle Scout Project on the Memo Line.  As always, thank you for your time and consideration.  Please share with anyone that might also be interested in the project.
