Grand Knight's Report

Brothers, this is what's going on in your council.


Please continue to contact SK Steve Brischler ( 770 378 0134, kofc.treasurer@gmail.com) for raffle tickets if you can't make it to a meeting or event. We need your help to meet our charity goals this year. 70% ($14.00) of a ticket book returns to the Council we have earmarked for the Parish charity needs, plus you have the chance to win one of three cash prizes of $5,000, $2,500 or $1,000. 


We are looking at allocating some of our investment fund to the Knights of Columbus Asset Advisors. I will keep you in the loop as this project advances.


We will soon have a Verizon 5G wireless connection at Feaster Center. It will include quite a few streaming channels. Our hope is to have viewing nights for sports, documentaries , etc. Lets get together and have some fun.

Saturday ,October 24 from 5:30pm to 8:00pm we will be supporting the Youth ministries spaghetti dinner.

We are cooking and the Life Teens are doing the rest. Please attend and support them in growing as Catholic adults.


Father Santosh has been granted a scholarship from our council for additional education needs.  We support our priests

and wish him success.


Please read the communications you receive from us, besides the meetings and charitable events we have a lot of

 lunches, dinners, sports watching, and other events coming up. We want you to be there with us.


Vivat Jesus,


GK Mike MacFarlane
