Fellow Knights,

We have lost one of our Brothers.

Henry Cosgriff passed away Thursday night  May 15th peacefully at his home. 

He was one of the original "new" Knights of Council 55 and always eager to help out at Knight events and our Quarterly Masses.

This is link to his obituary:

Remember to keep him and his family in your prayers.

That smile was contagious and he will be missed.

Upcoming Knight Events

This week First Friday is June 6 from 8 am Friday to 8 am Saturday.  After hours use the side door to enter.

Our regular business meeting is on June 19th, where will be having elections of officers for the 2014-2015 year.  Also final plans for our Pancake Breakfast will be discussed so you don't want to miss this meeting.

Our new Insurance Agent, Stephen Fredericksen, recently lost his son to illness. 

Please keep the family in your prayers.

Movie Night

The Social Ministry will again show movies at Sacred Heart Church during Lent

The remaining movies are:

    March 15th- Marty (Holy Rosary)

    March 22nd - Road to Perdition (Knights of Columbus)

Just to give you a head's up on Road to Perdition, it is rated R for violence and language but it's a really, really good movie.  It stars Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, Jude Law and Daniel Craig.

    March 29th -  Secondhand Lions (Holy Name)

    April 5th -  A John Wayne movie (St. Anne/St. Francis Cabrini)

We will sponsoring the March 22nd movie night, all Knights are welcome to attend - my understanding is that is no work to be done.  Of course you can attend any one and food and refreshments are supplied or you can bring your own snacks.

New Field Agent

On January 16 we welcomed our new Field Agent, Stephen Fredericksen.  He spoke of contacting members in order to update the Personal Service Records and also providing assistance and guidance to the Council.

Luminaria - All Souls Day

The Knights of Columbus - Solidarity Council 55, braved the wind and the rain to successfully light lumnaria at Sacred Heart, St Francis, St Mary and St Peter Churches on Saturday Night, November 2.

St Francis Church

The Set up went well but around 6:15 the wind picked up and a light rain came down making keeping the candles lit and keeping the bags from catching on fire.  Around 6:30 the skies cleared, the wind died down and calm was restored.  The candles burned until about 7:30 and many parishioners came to see the memorials.

Luminaria Memorials

Thanks to all Knights all the Knights who worked that night and a special thanks to Knight Frank Chawaniec who planned the event.  This fourth year was our most successful with over 400 on display at the four churches.
