- The campaign to raise funds to have the new meeting space named after Blessed Father McGivney has begun. Please consider donating to this cause which will finally give a permanent home to our Council and raise awareness of Blessed Father McGivney and the works of our Knights of Columbus Council. Donations can be sent to our Financial Secretary, Dave Fink. with checks made payable to “St. Luke Knights of Columbus”.
- Finally, it was with regret that we all heard that our dear friend and supporter, Diane Schafer, was leaving St. Luke for another position in another state. We wanted to show our appreciation to her for all the help and patient support she has given our Council over the years, so we have made a financial gift to Diane and presented it to her this past Sunday. She will be missed!
