Welcome to Our Newest Brother Knights!
On June 9, Blessed Mother Council hosted an exemplification of Charity, Unity and Fraternity to welcome two new Brother Knights into our ranks. In the front row from left are Colbi Mulholland and Jim Donovan. Welcome Brothers!
These two fine Catholic gentlemen join 14 others who have joined the Knights during this fraternal year to stand with us in our belief in the Catholic faith. If you’re a Catholic man over 18 and would like to join our ranks (or get more information) see a Brother Knight at church, or send an email to Chuck@BlessedMotherCouncil.com.
Award Winners in March!
Our Brother Sal Valvano was honored as Knight of the Month at our most recent members’ meeting. Sal is very active within the council, stepping up to work all our fund raising events as well as charitable events like our food drive. He also volunteers in the parish’s Ministry of Hospitality welcoming our parish family to the 9:00 AM mass every Sunday!
Congrats Sal!

Preparing Our Homes and Hearts for Christmas
On Wednesday, December 1, the Knights of Blessed Mother Council sought to remind our parish family of the “forgotten” season of Advent by sponsoring an Advent Holy Hour of Reflection.
Over 100 parishioners turned out to hear Fr. Timothy Canaan lead an hour of reflection that included scripture, prayer, song, along with a benediction to the Holy Eucharist to prepare our homes and hearts for the coming of Jesus. To, as the prophet Isaiah announced, “Make straight in the wasteland a highway for our God!”
It was about putting Christ back in Christmas during this busy season.
And, as with all good Knights of Columbus events, cookies and coffee followed!
We thank all of you who were able to join us in preparation for this holy season!
November Night at the Races!
It was our annual “Turkey Trot” at Columbus Downs and the hall was filled with race fans having a great time cheering on their favorite ponies! Click the link below to see more pics from this event!
