Catholic Man Study Group – 1st Wednesday of each month at 7:00-8:00 pm St. Joes Parish Center

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.

Keep Christ in Christmas Poster Contest – Nov 11th – Dec 16th – Contact Amy Gallus, St. Joseph School Principal.

Coats for Kids – December 6th 8:00 am – 7:00 pm
The Coats for Kids goal is to ensure that no child goes without a coat during the winter season. The Waconia Knights are partnering with St. Joseph Church to make this goal a reality by donating new coats for our children in the community. Coats will be distributed at the Parish Center on December 6th from 8:00 am – 7:00 pm. All are welcome to come pickup winterwear. No registration is required. To volunteer signup click >>HERE<<.

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.
 
Brothers & Brews
On Thursday November 7th, members of our council gathered for our annual Brothers & Brews Fraternal Benefit Event where we were introduced to our council’s new Field Agent Bert Grant by General Agent Joe Remer. Bert comes to us with a wealth of experience as a corporate finance guy and past District Deputy for the Watertown Minnesota area. I have included his contact information at the end of this newsletter. Join me in welcoming Bert to as our council representative!!
