SK Terry Luckett

Brother Terry Luckett is an active member of Ascension Parish and our KofC Council. Terry has organized and lead Knights of Columbus Brothers and family assisting the Athletes at the Special Olympics softball throw held at St Xavier High School’s Track Facility in Louisville, Kentucky for quite a few years. Terry did an outstanding job again this year. This year there were 27 K of C Members and or family members present at the Special Olympics event. The start was delayed a little because of weather and set-up time was cut short but, as always, the Knights came through with flying colors. Once again we all left feeling Truly Blessed! It takes a large number of workers to make this event a success. If you talk to anyone who has worked this event in the past, you will hear them say they get much more out of the event than they give. I can tell you that you will walk away smiling, feeling great and counting your blessings for being allowed to work with some of God's Special People.

April 2014

Chancellor David and Patti Such

Chancellor David and Patti were a driving force leading the highly successful 2014 Louisville Archdiocese Catholic Men's Conference with more then 800 attending, many were Knights of Columbus. The sessions were very good and the Mass was powerful indeed, and made even more so with the attendance of the 4th degree in full regalia. Archbishop Kurtz gave a brief address prior to the keynote speaker and one of his points was that “error increases with distance”. His funny story of how his bowling score increased in relation to how close he was to the pins was very funny In fact, his score exceeded 200, when he was 10’ away! Of course, what his message was that we need to keep close to Jesus and as we distance ourselves, so increases the chances that we make mistakes.

GK Jack and Mary Beth Banbury

From: jackban@aol.com Date: 02/17/2014 05:08 PM Worthy brothers, Today, I spent time loading vehicles with diapers for the diaper bank. Lady Mary Beth Banbury, my precious wife, arranged a diaper drive at the school she teaches at. The parents, teachers and students came up with just under 12,000 diapers! Two Knights loaded the vehicles and off they went , ready to support life! I would like to pass this story on to the local Councils. It is so easy and it does immeasurable good. I would be willing to visit local Council meetings to let them know how to do it. Seriously, all they need is a contact at a school or work place to get approval. I know I am beating the drum hard for this, but this effort is a perfect opportunity for KOC and it is so easy to do. I look forward to your response. Vivat Jesus Jack Banbury GK
