Thank You for supporting the Knights Pennies for Heaven campaign. We collected $7,108 during our fraternal year ending 30-Jun-2023. 100% of the money collected went directly to the following Seminarians: Jacob Wilson, Dominic Ratliff, Luke Eschmeyer, and John Haemmerle. The money helps with daily living expenses, books, supplies, transportation and more. With your generosity, this campaign has helped our Seminarians for the past 26 years.

The following students will share $9,000 in Catholic High School scholarships. The money was earned from our annual Lenten Fish Fry’s.

Brother Knights,

Please review the Smoker/BBQ event Sign-up Genius to volunteer your time and talent. There have been some changes made on PGC requirements along with the Covid-19 requirements. Please encourage your family members to help in this event to keep the event ongoing. We need lots of new volunteers and if you don’t have any experience smoking meat this is an opportunity to learn and by the end of the year you will be well trained. Trust me we have all learned something or many things from this event. I hope that you will consider some o your time and even if it is for a few hours and not the complete shift that is perfectly fine. Make sure to let me know when you sign up in the comments. Looking forward to seeing many new faces with all the changes and to learn more about smoking meat.

Lent is fast approaching with Ash Wednesday on February 22nd. That means that we will start our Lenten Fish Fry events beginning on February 24th and will continue through March 31st. We are now back to social dining in the Hutta Gym with entertainment each night. We will also continue the Drive-Thru option at a different location than the past two years.
Since we have more slots for volunteers this year and we need more than ever volunteers to make the event successful. Many hands make for less work for all.
Please consider using this Sign-Up Genius link to find a time/day/effort that fits you and please volunteer your time to a very worthy cause.

Lenten Fish Fry - 2023 Please Review Before Signing Up It is CRITICAL that all volunteers must have completed Protecting God's Childrens class. Have had the necessary background checks completed.

Fish Frys start in two weeks, on the Friday after Ash Wednesday! Join us every Friday through March 31 for delicious food, plus entertainment. (No Fish Fry on Good Friday for what we hope are obvious reasons.)

Brother Knights,

Lent is approaching with Ash Wednesday on March 2. That also means that we will start our Lenten Fish Fry events beginning on March 4 and continue through April 8. We have discussed with Fr. Sill and decided to once again ONLY do drive thru (like last year). See attached flyer for details.

We also need volunteers to make the event successful. Last year, we had our largest dollar level and number of scholarships for the Eighth Graders ever. We need your help to make it even bigger in 2022! Please use this Sign-Up Genius link to find a time/day/effort that fits you and please help.

Please note that due to the Latchkey program being in the gym concurrent with our event, Protecting God's Children protocols must be followed.

Thanks in advance & God Bless,
Steven M. Davis
