Exemplification You are invited
to attend a special ceremony of
admission and advancement to the Knights
of Columbus. Why should you attend? If
you are a First-Degree Knight, you have
the opportunity to receive the
Exemplification for Charity, Unity, and
Fraternity which is now combined into
one 25-minute ceremony conducted by our
local officers. If you are already a
Third-Degree Knight, you can come to
support your brother Knights and show
what it means to be unified as Knights.
The Exemplification is on Sunday,
December 15th after 10:30 mass in St.
Joseph Church.

Sign
of Faith
The "Sign of Faith"
campaign in celebration of our 100-year
anniversary is for a state-of-the-art,
dual-sided 4’ x 8’ LED outdoor sign.
This beacon of light will serve as a
vital tool in our mission to reach out
to the community, inviting all to join
us in worship, events, and programs at
St. Joseph Catholic Community.
Pro Life Flags The right to
life is unlike any other right. It is
the most basic right and the condition
of all other personal rights,
constituting the foundation of every
human community. To show support for
life, The Knights and friends of the
Knights recently placed flags next to
the church representing a child who has
been aborted each month in Minnesota.
Thanks to all volunteers.
