activity.
Lenten Fish Fry: Mickey Lacombe said that we’d start cooking at 3:00 PM on
Friday, Feb. 18th. The
altar society will provide dessert. Bob
Farmer discussed items we need. Tony
Maurin volunteered to pick up a lot of the items. The dinner hours will be from 5:00 PM to 8:30 PM.
Grand Knight’s Report: Ric said that
our quarterly communion would be this Sunday at 9:00 AM. Special mass roles handled by Ron Altobello - Eucharistic
Minister, Tony Maurin – Cantor, and Jerry Madere – Lecturer.
After the mass, we will be helping with a blood drive by cooking pancakes
for donors for free and at a nominal cost for others.
Mickey Lacombe will provide coffee.
The blood drive provides juice for donors.
We collected 65 pints of blood last year.
We will start the phone tree for the Fish Fry and the Blood Drive.
Insurance: Recently we
were informed that the Knights of Columbus does not qualify as a “Parish
Ministry”; therefore we cannot be covered under the Archdiocese blanket
insurance policy. We scrambled to
find coverage with the help of Dennis Couvilion, Ron Altobello, and Jerry Madere.
Ron talked with Supreme. They
are aware of our problem and will need time to come up with a solution.
We found an underwriter that would cover all our normal activities for up
to $2 million for $1078/yr., which we will pay quarterly. We paid our first installment on Feb. 11th.
St. Patrick’s Day Booth: We
discussed our food booth for the March 13th St. Patrick’s Parade.
Blue Mass: The date for
our next Blue Mass will be June 12th.
New Business: Fr. Gabriel
has started a Bible Study session with the SCSMC for Thursday mornings at 7:00
AM in the Melancon Center. The
Archbishop will come to SCS to celebrate the 4:00 PM Mass on Sat. Feb. 26th
followed by a dedication of the Chapel of the Holy Innocents and a reception.
The SCS Lenten Mission will start on Monday, Feb. 28th.
District Deputy: Joe Welch
announced upcoming dates.
Meeting ended at 8:40 PM with prayers for the Good of our Order.
We prayed for our Charter Member Brother Jimmy Daigre, Bob Borne’s
brother & Mickey Lacombe’s truck driver.
