Survey
Report response has been few. We are on the verge of losing 10 Brother
Knights through suspensions. This in my mind is a tragedy for all of
us. I tried calling two of these gentlemen and didn’t get any reply to
my many messages; I actually felt that they were in some sort of
distress. How can we reach out to each other? How can we show how much
has changed and how much we want you to come back into the fold? So
much is at stake for them personally in losing their Honorary Life
eligibility and Insurance benefits.
Those of you who worked so
hard in the past as officers and volunteers building up the Body of
Christ with us in the past will be lost in this Council. Can you
believe that these Knights that are still involved and have been Grand
Knights and Worthy Officers actually want me, who has only been a
Knight for 3 years, to be Grand Knight? Please tell us what you want to
see from this Council or why you won’t 248-545-7759.
God bless and Vivat Jesus

Grand Knight's Message
Greetings Brother Knights,
Well the summer is over (too
quickly) and with the advent of
autumn come renewed activities
as Knights are asked to step
forward to serve their parishes
and communities.
Our council will be having a
Corporate Communion on
Sunday, September 14th at the
11AM Mass at St. Mary Church. I
would like to see a good turnout
as we are stepping up our efforts in getting new members from St.
Mary/James and want our
presence known to all.
After the Mass we will be heading
to the Legion for the Installation
of Council Officers, fine food
and fraternization. I have always
found this to be a fun time, so
please try to attend.
The Legion Trivia League starts
up September 27th at 8PM. I
would like our members to show
off their superior intelligence so
come down and have a fun
evening. There are four person
teams so you can always blame
your mates if you don’t do well. I
wouldn’t push this if I didn’t think
you would enjoy yourself.
Congratulations to Bob Dyer our
Knight of the Month for all his
efforts, especially with St.
Mary/James and to our Family of
the Month, Gary and Shirley
Schultz, for their help in our
membership drive.
See you on September 14th.
Until then, may God bless and
keep you.
Vivat Jesus!
Tom Kennedy
