Grand Knights Message

Hello Brother Knights,

THANK YOU!! Over the past year we have continued our outreach to our church and community.

• Tootsie Roll Drive for persons with Intellectual Disabilities

• November Food Drive for Leyden Services Food Pantry

• Polish Dinner for St Beatrice and St Gertrude Parishes

• Christmas Toy Collection for Leyden Family Services

• Corned Beef & Cabbage Dinner for Vocation Support

• Server three (3) meals for Loaves and Fishes in Schiller Park

• Diaper Drive for The Women’s Center & McGivney Centers

We have also shared our support to our Church:

• Ran the Beer Garden at the Taste of St Gertrude

• Hosted an Advent Retreat with Fr Dominic

• Assisted with St Beatrice 200 Club Dinner

• Numerous Honor Guards

• Attended special events put on by the parishes.

It has been an honor to serve as Grand Knight of the Ave Maria council and was looking forward toward another year. However, I have accepted a position with a company that requires me to move to Atlanta, GA on August 11th and must turn the post to someone that can continue to oversee this year’s success. SK Rob Maas has agreed to step down as Deputy Grand Knight and submit his name as a candidate for Grand Knight of our council. We will have a special election on August 1st to fill the vacancies my move is causing. I invite everyone to attend our Business Meeting August 1st at 7:30 PM.

I pray for the Ave Maria Council and its continued success.

Vivat Jesus,

Michael Paul
