The Council will be speaking at all the masses on the weekend of April 22 & 23, 2017 in an effort to get new members. On Sunday, April 23, there will be a breakfast held at Koch hall for anyone that may wish to attend. The plan is for someone to speak at each mass and then for several Knights to greet people as they exit the church and remind them of the breakfast.
We are looking for two Knights to attend each of the masses on April 22 & 23. One will speak and both will be in the back after mass to answer questions and handout forms. We also need men for the Breakfast Crew at Koch Hall on April 23. Please use the link below to sign-up.
