MEN AND BOYS HOUR OF PRAYER

Men and boys of the community meet once a month on the last Saturday of each month for an hour of prayer. It all begins with an opening song in which we all sing along with. Then we continue with a rosary. Then we have another song. We then have about 5 to 10 minutes of quiet time of meditation and personal prayer. We then have group prayers before closing with another song. It really is an awesome time. The ironic thing is GOD is always there and he brings his son along too.

Please join us every last Saturday of each month at 7AM in the church. Please bring your son.

Upcoming Hour of Prayer dates;
June 24, 2006
July 29, 2006
August 26, 2006
September 30, 2006
October 28, 2006
November 25, 2006

Hope to see you there.

Money Calendar Fundraiser

Our council will be selling money calendars. Proceeds from this fundraiser will go to the Boyd Mahler Memorial Scholarship Fund.
The calendars will sell for $25.00. Everyone that purchases a calendar will recieve a number. If their number is pulled, they win the amount printed on the calendar for that day. Regular week days and Saturdays will be $25.00. All Sundays are $50.00. Holidays will range from $250.00 to $500.00 depending on the holiday. The greatest prize will be $1000.00 which will be given away for Columbus Day Holiday. Columbus day was chosen because we are the "Knights of Columbus".
We plan to start selling the calendars soon and the drawings will begin January 1, 2007.
The council will pull all the winning numbers for January at our December meeting. We will continue at each meeting pulling the numbers for the next month. All numbers will be posted on this site as indicated on the calendars.
