Grand Knight’s Message
Brother Knights,

It was nice to see a number of you at the summer social event. Good food and good conversation.

August is typically our slow month, with events picking up in September, with St. Tim’s carnival and soccer shoutout, fishing trip and Pizza social.

I look forward to seeing you during our events during the 2025-26 fraternal year.

Vivat Jesus!

FISHING Serenity Prayer
God grant me the SERENITY to accept the size of the fish I catch,
The COURAGE not to fib about it,
And the WISDOM to know that no one would believe me anyway.
