ACCOMPLISHMENTS, AWARDS & RECOGNITIONS

NOVEMBER 2011

Blood Drive
Collected 49 pints of blood. Each pint saves 3 lives. That's over 149 lives saved! Special thanks to Chairman, Chris Craddock for his dedication and help during the drive!

Spaghetti Dinner
The October Spaghetti dinner helped raise over $400 for the council. It was great fraternal time and a great way for the church to get to know our council. Special thanks to Clay Keel and all the members of his committee as well as the Ladies Auxiliary for all their help!

OCTOBER 2011

Proudly Announcing that Council 13457 has received the coveted "Columbian Award" for 2011-2012 The Columbian Award is presented to councils that have shown an outstanding effort in conducting at least 20 Service Program activities (four in each category: Church, Community, Council, Family and Youth).

SEPTEMBER 2011

We have just completed another successful membership drive by welcoming three new Brothers into our order. This Fraternal year, all new members will receive a special certificate of the Blessed John Paul II. In celebration of the May 2011 beatification of Pope John Paul II, all sponsors will also receive a commemorative medallion featuring the pope's image from now through January 2012. Please join me in welcoming the following new members wherever you meet them:

Thomas Kohberger
Scott Orangio

JULY 2011

Brothers!
 
Your KofC Council 13457 sponsored an organizational meeting of the Hispanic Round Table at our June Business meeting. Pedro Mandujano was elected as the Table Liaison, and immediately began contacting leaders in the Hispanic community to begin building bridges of friendship, trust, and mutual understanding.
 
Within his first month on the job, Pedro identified a need within the Hispanic Men's CHRP group who were searching for a way to obtain 40 bilingual bibles for their upcoming July 15 - 17 retreat. Under the guidance of our Grand Knight, Mark Miklos, and scripture recommendation of Fr. Patrick Scully, preparations were made to purchase and present 40 Sagrada Familia Bibles bibles to the CHRP group on July 10th. A warm welcome was provided to the Knights in attendance, and a visual demonstration of our order's charitable works was captured in the accompanying photos.
 
Please join me in congratulating these Knights in Action, men who are actively working to help realize Fr. Eric's vision of "One Parish, One Community".

Tootsie Roll
Over $6,400 raised for People with Intellectual Disabilities!
Over the course of 2 months, council 13457 was able to raise over $6400 for people with Intellectual Disabilities. Donations were collected over one weekend at the church as well as a weekend out in the local community (in the rain none the less). 60% of funds raised will go locally to Challenged Child and 40% will be used for state level support.

Council 13457 Applies for State Awards
Each year Georgia State Councils try for the coveted State Program Awards for various events held throughout the fraternal year. For the first time, COuncil 13457 is submitting an event for every category. Best of luck to each of the directors for their submission.

Knight of the Month - Hugh Bowen, Joe Nessen, Frank Margavio

NOVEMBER 2010

We completed another very successful membership drive by welcoming five new members into the order. Given that most of the council leadership was at the fourth degree on November 6 & 7, the success of this drive is directly attributable to outstanding efforts of the general membership. Please join me in welcoming the following new members:

As we enter the holiday season, please be extra mindful of wearing your membership badge to Mass and all church functions. This outward sign of faith, coupled with Archbishop Gregory's "Catholics Come Home" campaign, should remind us always to be gracious and welcoming to all we meet. The stranger we greet today may soon become the parishioner we welcome back into the church tomorrow.

AUGUST 2010

The Prince of Peace Council celebrated its largest First Degree ceremony in recent memory! Men are now coming in record numbers to the Knights in order to join with something larger than themselves. They are depending on you to provide leadership and an invitation to join. This coming November 6th and 7th, you will have the opportunity to step forward and give another Catholic man the gift of a lifetime. Recruit a new Knight today!

Please join in welcoming the following new members to our Council:

MAY 2010

Mark Writes,

The PoP Meditation Trails won honors at this years KoC State Convention. It was voted Best Church Project in GA!

In fact it was such a strong submission that it has been forwarded on to Supreme HQ for national competition. The PoP Meditation Trails could conceivably be the best Church Program in the America.

Periodically these trails need maintenance. This is a great opportunity for you to invest a little sweat equity and take personal ownership in one of the best KoC projects in GA & the nation.

Dave adds,

Mark and I attended the Ga. State Convention this past weekend in Augusta. Our Council was voted #1 for the Tootsie Roll Drive and when the State Deputy announced Wood stock as the #2 winner he stated their $9000 figure for last year and $11000 for this year and than announced #13457 with $11000 last year and a record breaking $14,000 for this year and a very noticeable moan came over the over 200 in attendance. So yes all know that we were #1 for 2 years in a row.

The Trail was voted #1 in the Church category and Mark's outstanding presentation was so impressive they have sent the binder to Supreme to be judged for the Knights overall award. WHAT a weekend and tremendous recognition for our Council. THANKS ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More details will be at our July business meeting date to be announced.

Jack Knight is the latest Seminarian for the Archdiocese of Atlanta! He will be attending Mount Saint Mary's Seminary in Maryland.

This is wonderful news as Jack as been a member of Prince of Peace since he was born, was very active in our Youth Group and is now a member of our Life Teen core team. Jack will be a great candidate for our Council RSVP program and would welcome our prayerful and financial support. Also let's remember our Seminarian that we have been sponsoring for the past few years is Tom Zahuta who will be ordained this June. Let's keep both of these men in our prayers.
MARCH 2010
