Brothers, it is time once again for our monthly pancake breakfast. This Sunday (January 19th) we will gather together to serve our parish a delicious breakfast and raise funds for the OLF Youth Group. The opening team needs to start about 6:30 a.m. to prepare food, setup the tables, and get supplies pulled together. Servers and bussers are needed after the 7 and 9 am Masses. Late sleepers are encouraged to come help with cleanup and getting supplies put away. Everything should be done before noon. Please use our Sign-up genius in the Knights web site (Kofc9597.org) under “For Members” then select Volunteer Signup then select January Pancake Breakfast. Even if you can’t help, please come and eat breakfast with your parish family and fraternal brothers.
Vivat Jesus!
Help Decorating Church
Brother Knights,
I was approached with a request to see if any Knights would be available to assist with decorating the Church for Christmas. The help is needed Monday morning the 23rd at 9 am until finished. There will be some heavy lifting and some climbing of ladders. So if you are not already booked for Monday morning the 23rd and can lend a hand it will be most appreciated.

Elijah Chalice Update
We now have all of November covered! Thank you to the brother Knights who signed up to take the Elijah Chalice home to pray for vocations. Now if we could just get a few more Knights to cover December it would send a wonderful message of support to our clergy and to all discerning if a vocation is right for them. Here is a link to the sign up: https://kofc9597.org/for-members/volunteer-signup/

15th Place Cleanup
This Saturday, Oct. 19th, the council will have a team to clean up on 15th Place between Miller St. and Kipling. Activities will start at 8 am and are expected to take less than an hour. Brother Knight Norbert Boeckman will have all the supplies you might need. This program is one of the ways we serve our larger community outside the parish, and is part of our “Helping Hands” required program. If you have a few minutes to help with our chores before getting going on your own honey-do list, we’d be happy to see you!
Exemplification and Social October 22nd
Brother Knights, We have the opportunity to welcome several new members to our Council Tuesday night the 22nd of October. We will be holding an Exemplification at 6:00 pm followed by a social to welcome our new members in the Parish Hall. It would be very impressive if we could have a good showing of members to welcome our new Brother Knights into our Council.
The Council will provide a variety of drinks. If you can make it we ask that you bring a nice hors d’oeuvre or snack to share. The Social will begin at about 6:45, or when we are done with the Exemplification.
