All members of the Light of Christ Council are invited to attend one of our upcoming council meetings to receive your commemorative 35th anniversary pin.

This event is for members only and is our annual tribute to John Dougherty who was a true gentleman and an exemplary Knight. He started this annual dinner as a way of giving back to the Knights’ spouses and significant others for the time commitments needed for Knights’ events.

We’ve held the event at the YR Club over the years and all who have attended have agreed that this is a very special afternoon/evening of fellowship, friendship, fun, and family.

This year’s event is being coordinate by Deputy Grand Knight Dan Wozniak.

Our January All You Care to Eat Family Breakfast will be held on Sunday, January 20, 2019 in the School Hall from 8:00am until 12:00pm. We now accept credit cards for your convenience.

There will be a Third Degree Exemplification Ceremony at St. Ignatius School Hall on Sunday, January 13, 2019 at 1:00pm. Degree ceremonies are for members only.

There will be a Second Degree Exemplification on Tuesday, January 8, 2019 at 7:00pm at St. Catherine of Sienna Church in Exeter. Degree ceremonies are for members only.

This event is your council’s biggest fund-raiser and requires quite a bit of help. We’ll meet on Saturday, December 15 at 8:00am in the school hall to setup tables and chairs, prep food, and setup all equipment and supplies.

On Sunday, December 16 at 6:00am we’ll start with the cooking and finish all prep work. Breakfast starts at 8:00am and this breakfast is traditionally busy from start to finish. We’ll be pressed to keep tables bussed, dishes washed, and silverware cleaned. At the end of the breakfast (12:00pm) all the clean-up work begins.

Please consider helping in any way you can. A couple of hours would go a long way towards helping your council and your brother Knights. Thank you.
