Our council is pleased to host the February Assembly for our Assembly 1289.
Families and Friends Come and Join Us
Our annual Memorial Mass for deceased Knights and family and friends of the Council will be on MARCH 29, 7:30 PM, at Immaculate Conception. Brother Knight, Rev. Dheo Layosa, pastor of Immaculate Conception, will celebrate the Mass. While we will commemorate the lives of all brothers who have gone to eternal rest before us, we will have a roll call for those who have passed since our previous Memorial Mass. We invite everyone to join us and be a part of this celebration.
As we read in 1 John 3:14-16:
We know that we have passed from death to
life because we love our brothers. Whoever does not
love remains in death. Everyone who hates his brother
is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has
eternal life remaining in him. The way we came to
know love was that he laid down his life for us; so we
ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
After Mass, Knights and families are invited to join the council at our ‘Founders Day’ reception in the Church Hall.
Meeting starts at 8pm
Refreshments at 6:30 PM.
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.
Robert E. Hatler PSD, Dinner Chairman
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:
James Flynn, Event Chair
