Grand Knight Update

January 26, 2023

Brother Knights of KofC Council #11341,

I hope you are all well as we continue to enjoy a very mild January!

This will be a brief Grand Knight update focused on only a couple of upcoming events.  I will highlight our participation in a couple of "Life" events in my next GK update.

First, let me say thanks to Jack Carmody and Sydd Souza for answering the call to set up tables following the 1130 Mass this past Sunday!  It only took us 15 min to complete, and the Religious Education leaders were quite appreciative.

This coming Saturday we are "hosting" the Resurrection Parish Blood Drive in Dohony Hall on the St. Paul Church campus in Old Ellicott City. There are still service slots available in the afternoon for this Pastor-endorsed project -- interested Knights can sign up by following the link below:

Following all of our Church of the Resurrection Masses this weekend, we will be collecting Cash and Checks for the annual Ultrasound Collection in support of certified Crisis Pregnancy Centers.  We are asking our Knights to slip out of the tent or the Chapel after Communion, find Brother Ted Rieve in the Pastoral Center, and stand watch for 10 minutes after Mass in your designated spots.


Thanks in advance for those Knights or family members who volunteer for either of these service opportunities in support of our Parish, our Pastor, and our Life Program!

What It Means to Be Pro-Life By Supreme Knight Patrick E. Kelly

Hundreds of thousands of pro-life advocates will gather in Washington on Friday for the annual March for Life. Every year it is one of the biggest demonstrations in the nation’s capital, but some of the movement’s most dedicated members won’t be there. They’ll be where they usually are, day in and day out—at pregnancy resource centers caring for mothers and children, born and unborn.
