The annual 5 Car Raffle provides both the council and the parish an excellent opportunity to raise funds for charitable endeavors. Over the past several years we have been able to successfully raise funds toward such projects as: Marian Homes, the Paul Stefan foundation, Fr Ephrem’s tuition, the Sacred Heart statue in the cemetery, the Holy Family statue in front of the parish center, the annual March for Life busses, the 150th St Mary’s anniversary book, and other smaller efforts requested by Fr Barkett. This years proceeds will be used to assist with the repairs to Old St Mary’s Hall which are currently estimated to run at $95K. Participation allows individual’s the opportunity to win 1 of 5 vehicles or $20 K in cash prizes. Through combining our efforts w/All Saints parish the council creates a win/win situation that maximizes revenue for both organizations. Hopefully we will have a winner from St Mary’s again this year. Click to see the Vehicles. |

 The
time had come, the waiting was over, and it was now or never.
Their name had been called and as they stood up and walked
forward they would glance back looking for that reassuring smile
or thumbs up. Ever so carefully they would approach the line,
and then stop, close their eyes, as if to steady
themselves…maybe even offer up a prayer or two.

Council Members –
We, the Officers of Council 8600, are committed to support our Council in making this fraternal year the best by surpassing the membership recruitment efforts from last fraternal year, and by retaining all members we can. A growing membership is the key to keeping a Council strong; it is the lifeblood of our Order. Our recruitment theme for this year is; “Recruit a Member – it’s a Daily Effort”. With our strong and active Membership Plan we will have a stronger and more vibrant Council. Recruiting new members brings in new ideas, new energy and new growth for our Council. Retaining those members builds the character of the Council and solidifies our programs. By coordinating our efforts we will Revitalize and bring new energy to our Council. The Council’s challenge this year is to recruit a net 36 new or reactivated members. To do this we need your help. It is imperative that each Knight recruit a new member this year. Look around your neighborhood, among your friends, and the men seated around you at mass. If you do not see them wearing a Knights of Columbus badge, invite them to become one. Give them a Knights Membership form 100, have them complete it when you give it to them, after it is signed by the proposed member and you, turn it in at the next Knights meeting, or drop it at the Church office. After you drop it off, we request you notify us of the completed form by sending an email to us, we will pick up the form, and forward it to our Admissions Chair, PGK Gerry Hovan. I thank you in advance for taking an active part in recruiting for the Knights. Fidel J. Rodriguez, David C Sharp Chancellor and Membership Committee Chair Grand Knight, Council 8600 fidelj72@yahoo.com grandknight@kofc8600.org
Our second Recruitment BLITZ is next month, March 10 and 11. We need your help in volunteering to recruit at the Worship Center as well as at the Historic Church. You can volunteer as many times as you would like. Please go to the signup page for days/times available. |
