Council Hosts Guadalupe
Image - December 18, 2011
As
a participant in the Knights of Columbus Marian Prayer Project, the
council hosted a stop on the national tour of the image of Our Lady of
Guadalupe. The image had been blessed by Pope Benedict XVI and was
touched to the original image of Our Lady of Guadalupe which formed on
St. Juan Diego's tilma (cloak) after one of Our Lady's appearances to
him in Mexico. Council members and parishioners were invited to visit
St. Isaac Jogues Chapel and join in prayer there.
Stockings for
Soldiers Project Completed - November

The
council wrapped up its Stockings for Soldiers project, having
collected the equivalent of about 50 "stockings" worth of items for
troops overseas. The donations were taken to the project's central
processing facility in Delaware, where more than 10,000 stockings are
shipped out, each one tagged with the name of an individual soldier. The

and other costs. Special thanks goes to Jack Marchiano and Bill Ristey
for heading up this effort.
