In service to one, in service to all.
On Saturday, April 13th, we gathered at the Father Doyle Social Hall for our annual awards night. Congratulations to all who were recognized for helping our council achieve its mission of service and charity to our parishes and the community.
Father Kelly, who is the only priest we know that served both St. Rose of Lima and Corpus Christi, has passed away. Please remember him in your prayers and look for further announcements on the funeral arrangements.
Thanks.

Brothers,
It is with great sadness that I send this email informing you all of the passing of Sir Knight James Thompson. Jim was a charter member of our Council and a long time member of the order. This past January Jim celebrated is 57th Anniversary with the Knights of Columbus. Jim became a fourth degree member of the order on May 1, 1989.
Please pray for the soul of our departed brother Jim, may his soul and the souls of all the faithfully departed rest in Peace Amen. Please also keep Jim’s wife Barbara and their family in your prayers during this difficult time.
I will send out additional details about the viewing and services as soon as I have more information.
Thanks,
Rick Ray
Grand Knight

Dear brother Knight,
Your action is needed to end taxpayer funded abortions!
On Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote to permanently ban all taxpayer funding of abortion. We urge you to contact your member of Congress to express your support for this important legislation.
In 1976, our brother Knight Congressman Henry Hyde introduced a provision which prohibits any funds from Medicaid being used to pay for abortions. In the last 40 years, the Hyde Amendment has been renewed annually and has saved more than two million lives!
The important legislation that needs your support will make the Hyde Amendment permanent and will apply it across the federal government, not just to Medicaid. This will save even more innocent lives!
At our 134th Supreme Convention, we resolved “to speak out to our elected representatives about the need to enact legislation protecting human life.” I urge you to take that action today by contacting your member of Congress and telling them to vote YES on H.R. 7, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act.
Fraternally,
Carl A. Anderson
Supreme Knight
