Monsignor James S. Conlan Council #5329 – May-June 2024 Activities Summary
The Knights of Columbus Monsignor James S. Conlan Council #5329 worked on the following initiatives during the months of May through June 2024:
2024 Annual Knights College Scholarship Essay Contest – We announced the winner of this year’s Annual College Scholarship here. Thank you again to all who submitted their essays.
2024 Annual Blue Mass – We held our Annual Blue Mass that is now shared with two other area Knights Councils and it was a wonderful event for all who attended as well as a wonderful way to honor all those who serve God and country. You can read more here.
2024 Knights Membership Drive – We held our first membership drive BBQ in a long time on 6/9/24. Thank you to all who attended and all the Brother Knights volunteered to work at the event. We also are appreciative of Father Ray and Father Rodrigo for attending, as well as, their continued support of our Council. It’s still not too late to join and you can do so online here.
Families in Need Donations – We donated $200 to a family within Pine Bush NY Greater Community area that not only lost recently their family patriarch to an illness, but also are struggling to make ends meet. Please keep this family in your prayers as they have many financial challenges they are working to overcome. If you are interested in helping them out please contact us and we will work to forward your donations to them. Specifically they are in need of electrical repairs that are estimated at $3,500 with donated labor and reduced at cost supplies.
God Bless America Lawn Sign Fundraiser – We are selling “God Bless America” lawn signs at all the masses at Infant Saviour Church in Pine Bush NY. If you are interested please see a Knight to purchase them in the rear in the church after each mass. The signs are $20 each and proceeds are used towards our various charitable works for the Church and community throughout the year. You can read more about the fundraiser here.
Father Rodrigo’s 25th Anniversary – We gave Father Rodrigo as certificate for his twenty fifth anniversary year as priest and in our June (6/13/24) Council meeting he thanked us both for the certificate as well as our attendance of his gala celebration last month at the Infant Saviour Church. As previously noted above, we are greatly appreciative of Father Rodrigo’s continued support of our Council especially his spiritual leadership and we are also grateful for all he has accomplished as a pastor and priest shepherding our Parish community.
2024-2025 Fraternal Year Council Officers Elected – At our 6/13/24 Monthly Council Meeting and Social Hour we elected our Council’s officers for the upcoming Fraternal Year that begins on 7/1/24. You can see the officers’ roster here.
