On Saturday, August 8 and Sunday, August 9 members of the Light of Christ Council will be preparing and serving dinner at the Kennedy House Soup Kitchen on Spruce Street in Reading.

On behalf of the entire membership, the Officers of the Light of Christ Council wish to thank you for your support throughout the year. Our programs were cut short this Spring due to the COVID-19 situation and we had to cancel a number of planned events. We are currently planning some alternative programs for the remainder of 2020 so check back often as schedules, plans, and programs remain fluid at this time. We appreciate your understanding.

Congratulations to Brian and Jamie Sauselen on their selection as Family of the Month for June 2020. Brian and Jamie and their family are very active members of our parish. Brian is a member of the Light of Christ Council.

Even though Van Reed Road is closed in front of the school, our doors will be open for the Best Breakfast in Berks. Come out and see for yourself!

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.
