Pancake Breakfast
Brothers, our next Pancake Breakfast
will be held at Immaculate Conception on
November 9. As always your help will be
most appreciated. These
events are
always a lot of fun, they help the
community see the Knights in action, and
we make a little money. Please contact
Ron Canada or me ([email protected])
if you can help. We need pancake flippers
and servers. We start working at 8:15 AM.
(PGK Dennis Roerty)
Keep Christ in Christmas Cards
The Knights of Columbus will be selling
religious Christmas cards before and after
Mass for the next few weekends. All
proceeds go to religious vocations in the
Richmond Diocese. This is a wonderful
way to “Keep Christ in Christmas” and to
share his message with our friends and
family. (Jim Hogan)
