CONGRATULATIONS FR DINDO OUR COUNCIL CHAPLAIN - HE IS ONE OF THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS 2025 VICTOR CARDOSI AWARDEES IN THE JOLIET DIOCESE
Join us at the awards banquet for Fr Dindo and the other awardees on Sunday, April 27th, at Saints Peter and Paul Church Ministry Center in Palatine. Dinner is $55 a person and reservations are required. Here is the link for the reservation form:
You can join online at www.KofC.org and click on Join at the top of the screen, enter 6993 for St Mary Mokena Council #. We will contact you with details or call if you want to discuss joining. Eugene Satrun - Grand Knight 773-891-7430
We do a LOT but do not be intimidated. We do not expect members to help with everything but rather as you can since family, job, and church comes first. Perhaps you can attend a meeting only every few months and help with one event a year, that would be great.
Our next Exemplification of Charity Unity and Fraternity Degree will be in May in the church hall - sign up prior to May.
Thank-you for making the Blood Drive Successful on Feb 18
We exceeded the goal from the blood center with credit for 36 donations (double reds counted as 2 and we had a record 8 people doing the double red this time).
Next Blood Drive is Tuesday morning April 29 from 8-12. We will be cooking a custom omelet breakfast for donors.
Thank-you for supporting the Spaghetti Dinner that was held on Sat March 15
