VIVAT JESUS!
In conjunction with the schedule of His Eminence Cardinal Tobin and finding a venue where we can all meet comfortably, a solid date for the Archdiocesan PIP dinner is set for October 11, 2023, at “The Grove”, located in Cedar Grove, NJ. Yes, this is a change of venue, but I fully expect a similar positive response from all of you! It is Columbus Day so there is another reason to be proactive in securing a table that evening.
It is a great honor to invite you, your local priests and Chaplains, and your council members to our Fifteenth Annual Pride in Our Priest Dinner.
Please join us on:
Venue: The Grove
691 Pompton Ave.
Cedar Grove New Jersey 07009
Time: 6:00 PM – Cocktail Hour; 7:00PM – Dinner
Cost: $70.00 per person
Please start planning now to join Cardinal Tobin, Bishops Cruz, Saporito, Studerus and Lorenzo, Flesey, and all our archdiocesan priests and the State Officers (who pay for the evening) at our dinner. As always, family and friends are certainly welcome. If there are any questions, please contact your county diocesan chairperson listed below.

Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness and Respite Care Support
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive, degenerative, neurological disease that affects the brain and results in impaired memory, thinking, and behavior. Persons suffering from this devastating disease may require much supervision and assistance with daily living activities. It is not just those with the disease who suffer; the continual demand for care can create emotional and physical stress for caregivers. “Respite” (meaning a short period of rest or relief from something difficult) is for the care-giver, and “Care” is for the person with Alzheimer’s disease. This program is designed to help family caregivers learn about and experience the importance of respite care services.
The program provides families with supportive counseling and direct financial assistance to obtain some relief from the heavy demands of caring for someone 24 hours per day.
Families utilize the assistance for home health care, adult day care, and short-term residential respite.
We will have a ‘Fraternal Night’ type gathering on December 15, 2023 at St. Anthony, beginning at 7PM. Agenda to follow.
At our gathering we will have a brief prayer service, present council awards for ‘Knight of the Year’, ‘Family of the Year’, and any special recognition awards. We will have excellent food from La Casa Formoso.
Tickets for our 50-50 have been mailed or emailed that will be drawn that night. Since we have not been able to hold our usual fundraising events, the raffle is very important to us financially. I hope you will participate. You may buy the tickets yourself and sell them to friends and family. If you choose not to participate in the 50-50, I hope you will consider a donation to the council in support of the event.
All checks should be made out to ‘KOFC 9021’ and returned with raffle ticket stubs by our council meeting on Dec 12 to:
