Brother Knights,
This is an update as to what is going on with our Council.
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic we are still not scheduling any meetings. Bishop McClory and Father Doug will make the decision in the future as to when our parish organizations can begin to have meetings and resume some of our normal activities. We will let all of you know when that happens.
We recently sent a check for $1900 to the State Council for the SOS (Support Our Seminarians) Fund. This was made up of direct donations from our council members and the money goes to financially help those seminarians that come from dioceses around the state. Last year we donated $1060 which was a record amount for our council at the time. This year we almost doubled that amount. Our members can be very proud of the fact that we are providing support to those young men who have chosen to give their lives to God and our Catholic faith.
Our State Council has for many years provided support to Gibault which is an organization in Terre Haute that provides residential and community treatment and services to at-risk youth. One of the ways they do this is with a statewide raffle with winners drawn at the State Convention. With no State Convention this year, the drawing will be held on July 24th with prizes ranging from $6000 to $250. All councils in the state are asked to sell raffle tickets. Art Giacomin agreed to be in charge of our ticket sales. We ended up selling $1825 worth of tickets which is easily the most we have ever sold and is remarkable with the pandemic going on. Thank you to Art and all of you who helped with the ticket sales. A great job and maybe someone we know can win.
I hope this finds all of you and your families in good health. Hopefully soon things can begin to get back to normal. I will keep you updated about our K of C Council 738.
Thank You, Greg Burnison, Treasurer
