November 13th will be the second Faith Rally put on by the Parishes in Torrington.
With the storm and power outage I am sure some preparation is behind schedule.
Watch your e-mail for updates.
Right now help is needed Friday Night and Saturday for setup at St Peter/St Francis School.
More to follow.

All Souls Day 2011
On November 2, Knights from Solidarity Council 55 lit up Torrington in the midst of the power outage challenging many at that time.
Here are pictures from St Francis:
While the numbers were down from 2010 due to not being able to sell during the storm weekend, Brother Frank Chawaniec and his teams still went beyond the call of duty to make this event a success. More information will be posted later. If you have pictures, please e-mail them to KOCSolidarity55@gmail.com

St Francis Festival Cookout
On October 1, Knights from Solidarity Council 55 ran the American Grill at the St Francis Festival. Things were slow until after the Blessing of the Animals but it then took off afterwards.
Deacon Roy, Joe Guanieri, Chris Zarzycki and Matt Paventy helped run the grill while Tom Gluz sold Luminaria and Keep Christ in Christmas magnets. Delcy Voisine and Jerry Belli helped set up the tent and chairs for the St Francis Dinner that night.
We learned how we can save money next year and make this event more profitable for both St Francis and the Knights. Put it on your schedule for next year!
If you were there and not listed above - please give me a call. - Thanks

Upcoming Knight Events
Fellow Knights:
The next few weeks are going to be busy ones for the Knights - Remember how we asked for only a few hours of your time each year? Speaking on behalf of your Grand Knight, now is the time for a few hours.
Here is a schedule for the next events. Please pick as many as you can possibly help with and get back to either Tony or one of the other officers.
Thanks
.September 29 - Moving chairs and tables for St Francis Festival - 5 - 6pm
October 1 - American Grill - St Francis Festival 11 - 2 pm work grill, possible Tootsie Roll program and Luminaria Sales
October 8 - Help with parking at St Francis (Big Warner event in town that night) 4 - 5:00 pm
October ?? Chair and table marking for Faith Rally - this is a great activity in that there is a whole month of time available. Brother Ralph Murphy is organizing
October 22-23 Luminaria Sale - After all the Masses
October 29 - 30 - Luminaria Sale - After all the Masses
November 2 - All Souls Day - Luminaria set up and Church watch - 6 - 9pm
November 11-12 Faith Rally set up (times TBD)
November 13 - Faith Rally - Clean up and tear down at night, some work can be done on the 14th.
This looks like a lot but most activities require only an hour or so. For the events at Mass, if you go to that mass, we are usually only looking for 15 minutes before and after - no additional traveling required!
Please take an active role in the next few months. Instead of saying "I can't help the Knights (and the Cluster), I have to do (something else)" you should say, "Sorry, I am not available at that time, I am working with the Knights."
