Brothers:
First off, I pray for your safe well-being and for that of your families.
Saint Mary of Sorrows is still conducting daily adoration from 5pm to 8pm. If there are insufficient sign-ups, then the adoration will end at 5pm. Again, the limit is 10 people and you can sign up on the parish website.
Our meeting on 19 May will again be virtual but it is an very important meeting and I hope you can attend. We will be voting in our officers for next year. The Nominating Committee is proposing the following slate of officer for the next Fraternal Year:
2020-21 Council Officers
Grand Knight: Mike Mellor
Deputy Grand Knight: John Morgan
Chaplin: Reverend Francis Peffley (Appointed by the Bishop)
Chancellor: Joseph Moritz
Recorder: Mike Mannion
Financial Secretary: David Sharp, PGK (Appointed by Supreme)
Treasurer: James Cella, PGK
Lecturer: (Appointed by the Grand Knight)
Advocate: Andrew Sheridan
Warden: Gorden Goetz
Inside Guard: George Alexa, PGK

One Year Trustee: Richard Cardenas, PGK (Not Elected)
Two Year Trustee: Tom Silva, PGK (Not Elected)

I regret to inform you of the passing of our brother, Col. Thomas Kullman, US Army. Tom passed away on 16 April from Alzheimer’s and is survived by his wife, Lynda. Prior to the onset of his Alzheimer’s, Tom was active at S. Mary’s and TEACH in Guatemala.
The State Deputy asked us to consider donating to the State’s ultrasound initiative. I am happy to report we have donated over $1,500 to date for this excellent cause. If you are interested, please consider making a donation on our website.
Because of COVID, Celebrate Fairfax is moved to October.
While we made a significant contribution to the Saint Mary of Sorrow Food Pantry as part of our Lenten drive, the demand during this COVID-19 crisis has been huge. Most of the families we are serving do not usually need assistance and are not receiving benefits from the county. This includes many who have been laid off or have had their hours cut. The church is sponsoring a food drive on Friday, 15 May, between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, and Father Barkett will be blessing those that participate between 11:00 and 12:00. In addition, our Braddock district supervisor, James Walkinshaw has indicated that he will stop by to support our efforts. Please let me know if you have any questions. For additional information, please visit the parish website at: https://stmaryofsorrows.org/?page_id=6496
Please…everyone stay safe.

Council 8600 Insurance Agent - Daniel Garrigan
Father McGivney, established the Knights of Columbus, and with it, a “pass-the-hat” insurance system to protect the Catholic families in his parish. Over time, that system has evolved, and today we stay true to our founding mission through our multi-billion dollars, top-rated insurance program. Members have exclusive access to our insurance program and products, including life insurance, retirement annuities, long-term care insurance, and disability income insurance. The men in our council are no doubt at various stages of life, with varying needs and varying means. Nevertheless, at some point in our lives, surely most of us will look for life insurance protection, retirement products, disability income or long-term care insurance. When you do, why would they look anywhere besides our very own Knights of Columbus? I challenge you to help spread the word of Father McGivney and how one hundred and thirty-five years ago, Father Michael J. McGivney worked to protect Catholic families. I challenge mentors to share this with your new Knights especially if they are Married.
We are honored to have Daniel servicing our members. You can find out more information by emailing him at Daniel.Garrigan@KOFC.ORG or you can set up an appointment at http://dangarrigan.genbook.com
