Many of you remember our good friend Bob Lynch, who passed away earlier this year.

In honor of his memory a bench will be dedicated at Gibault on Saturday, October 29 at 1:00 PM EST. We invite all who knew Bob to attend and show support for a man who epitomized the values of the Knights of Columbus, a staunch supporter of Gibault, and a mentor to many.

Please email Mike Ilko, tsquareilko@gmail.com by Monday, October 24 if you will attend so a count can be given to Gibault.

Details are in the following PDF – https://kofc3660.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Bob-Lynch-Bench-October-2022.pdf

Lunch will not be served, and no formal tours will be offered.

The Coats for Kids program as presented by our Supreme Council is to help kids stay warm in the winter. A warm coat means a child can more realistically attend school, go to after-school programs, play, and do all the things that kids do to be kids. In a very real sense, a warm winter coat means mobility. Our mission is to make this seemingly small part of life a little bit easier.

Your council started out 5 years ago with Central Catholic School with just 2 boxes of coats (24) and we have gradually increased that to 7 boxes (84). Your council has also added hats and gloves in recent years. We will be continuing this project again this November 2022.

We are asking for donations so that we can increase the number of boxes we provide to this event. If you would like to donate, please send the funds to PGK Scott Crossen, please note that the donation is for this event.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact PGK Scott Crossen 317-691-5369.

Our first breakfast of 2022 will be on Sunday January 9, 2022. This Sunday is not only a breakfast Sunday but it is an opportunity for our council to help out again. The council will be collecting gently used Women’s and Men’s Coats that morning to take down to Wheeler’s Mission. There will be a drop off spot set up to collect them.

Matthew 25:34-40: Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, my Father has blessed you! Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger, and you took me into your home. I needed clothes, and you gave me something to wear. I was sick, and you took care of me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ Then the people who have God’s approval will reply to him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you or see you thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you as a stranger and take you into our homes or see you in need of clothes and give you something to wear? When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ The king will answer them, ‘I can guarantee this truth: Whatever you did for one of my brothers or sisters, no matter how unimportant they seemed, you did for me.’

Let’s Pack the Cars

The officers, members of Monsignor Downey Council and next of kin will celebrate our Brother Knights who have passed into eternal peace this year at our Memorial Mass at Good Shepherd Catholic Church.
