A CATHOLIC FAMILY FRATERNAL SERVICE ORGANIZATION

The Merian Council of the Knights of Columbus is an organization dedicated to assisting our Parish in every way we can.

We come from all walks of life--priest, deacons, bankers, teachers, builders and blue collar and white collar workers. K of C members work together to help their Church and their community and family as well.

Our Council sponsors the Boys and Girls Basketball program and the soccer challenge this fall. We sell Tootsie Rolls to support the Mentally Retarded children of America. We also sell Christmas cards in November to raise funds for future use. And we support our troops in Iraq with Care Packages who are fighting for our FREEDOM.

The Marian Council host the annual St. Patrick's Day Dinner and this year the proceeds will be used for the painting of St. Rita's Hall. We support our local St. Vincent de Paul Society by donating unperishable foods the week before Thanksgiving day.

WE ARE BUSY ... AND WE LOVE TO SERVE!

Do yourself and your family a favor... JOIN US! It's an experience of a lifetime.

The Knights of Columbus Special Incentive Program Honors Pope Benedict XVI

As a display of the Order's admiration and loyalty to Pope Benedict XVI, a campaign of degrees and recruiter incentives in his honor will be in place through the end of this fraternal year. Your council is urged to join other councils throughout our Order in this special recognition of the love that the members of the Knights of Columbus hold for the pope.

Below are details on the various components of this program.

Also below you will find information on materials to assist your council in honoring our pope.

All First Degree exemplifications through the end of the 2007-08 fraternal year will be held in honor of Pope Benedict XVI.

New Members

Every new member proposed into the Order until June 30, 2008, will be presented with a limited-edition certificate (#9702) commemorating the papal visit to the United States.

Each new Knight recruited until June 30, 2008, will have his name listed in a special book that Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson will present to Pope Benedict XVI.

Marian Council finished 2nd in Div 2 in membership growth

Marian council 3773 — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 13:35:05 GMT

Worthy Brothers,

I got back from the State Convention in San Jose this morning and I bring good news.

There were 560 councils all over California that attended and the Marian Council finished second in Division two in membership growth. I am proud of all our new members and also our new transfers.

You are the reason why we received a plaque.

Brothers, we need to grow more and bring in new members in our Council.

The Knight's Choir and the Knight's Mass is a very good way to serve the Church...the body of Christ. We are building a "civilization of love" through volunteer service. Vivat Jesus!

Fraternally in Christ,

Brother Gil Eliares

Join K of C Choir

Marian council 3773 — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 10:51:11 GMT

Worthy Brothers,

I sang with our regular church choir last Sunday at the 10 AM Mass and even with a not-so-great singing voice, I felt good.

They do need men's voices to give balance to the total effect of the music.

If you score well in karaoke singing, you should be highly eligible for the choir. In life, adventureinto the unknown is the greatest thrill.
