2025 June FBE Annuity Flier
 

Good Morning Worth DDs, Grand Knights and Financial Secretaries,

 

I just wanted to let all of you know if you have not heard by now effective June 1, 2025 Christopher Massoglia will be our new General Agent for Northern WI/Greater UP of Michigan. He will be taking on former General Agent’s Timothy Nowak’s role.  Please welcome Chris when you have the chance.

 

Also I just wanted to send some information out to you for your reference.  I will be your assigned agent going forward and have been working with a majority of your councils since January 2023. I stepped down as Assistant General Agent and going to back to Field Agent.  This will allow me to work more efficiently with our members and not having to manage other agents.  There were some minor changes but nothing we can not over come with area assignments.

 

I also have attached a last change FBE for your councils coming up on June 25th at 7PM.  Your State Officers are encouraging you to have a “Watch Party” at your council meeting place or at a member’s home.  Please encourage other members and parish parishioners to attend.

 

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Our Chaplain, Fr. Todd moves to Marshfield

On April 29, brother knights from 1170, and a contingent from Pacelli HS, helped Fr. Todd move out of St. Stephen's rectory. Assisting Fr.Todd were his brother, mother, friends from the parish, and 4 Pacelli HS athletes and one of their teachers, David Dachel.

Also, from the council were Frank Kubicki, Ken Cekosh, Al Polum, Phil Haffenbretl, and Brian Bogaczyk.
 
Fr.Todd has now begun as pastor at St. John the Baptist Parish in Marshfield. We are very sad to see him go. However, Marshfield will be graced by his preaching and teaching. He is truly a man of Gid!
