What are the Knights up to?


August has been a very busy month for our St Odilia Knights of Columbus. The month started off with the prep and construction of the crosses for the “ Stations of the Cross”. Lots of sawdust flying and the smell of paint as your brother Knights work together towards the completion. A BIG thank you goes to our Brothers Dave McCarty, Tavi Lerma, Eric Patterson, GK Luis Chlup, and our parishioner Bob Hutchinson. The Crosses will be dedicated during the October celebration of our church’s dedication 55 years ago.
 
Also during August Brother Bill Buhs coordinated and set in place what was needed to sponsor our Holy Hour on August 23, 2020. Brother Bill was assisted by Brother John Casserly in doing the scripture readings and rosary with our Father Miguel as the Presider. This particular Holy Hour was live-streamed and viewed by approximately 300 people.
 
We ended the month sponsoring the first of four Food Drives for the Interfaith Community Center. We want to thank our Brother’s Mark Smerlinski, Ray Guenette, Jon Zagorsky, John Huss, Pete Castellan, Dave McCarty, Nick Arrieta, Tavi Lerma, and GK Luis Chlup for giving their time to assist in the food-collecting, We sent out a big Thank You to all our St Odilia families for their generosity and help and because of you, we received 2200lbs. of food and $2400.00 in cash and checks.
 
Lastly, I would like to give a big thank you to our Father Miguel Mariano who has been our biggest cheerleader keeping our spirits up and encouraging our efforts…….and also feeding us donuts.
