In the Western Church, November 1st is the Feast of All Saints and November 2nd is the celebration of All Souls. And so each year, on the first Sunday in November, our council remembers the souls of our brother knights who have fallen asleep in the Lord during this past year. This year our memorial service will be held on Sunday November 3rd at St. George Melkite Catholic Church located at 1620 Bell Street, Sacramento. The Divine Liturgy begins at 10:30 am and the memorial service is held immediately after. I encourage you to come and pray for the souls of our fellow knights. It is also a great opportunity for you to experience the spirituality of the eastern church.

I want to thank all of you helped out at our Tootsie Roll drive, Membership Drives and German Night. What was really impressive to me it that we had all this happening on the same weekend, with recruiting taking place at three different churches at the same time. German Night was a lot of fun and the food was great. Further information on the results of these events will follow.

Don’t forget that our Shrimp Dinner is on Saturday, November 16th. This is a fundraiser for the many charitable works we do throughout the year. I encourage you to contact Al Piccardo to see how you can help out at this event. Make plans to come to the dinner and bring some friends. This is a great event and always a lot of fun.

Thank you.
Go! Make a difference…
