Rennfest Beer Booth Volunteers
2021-10-16 08:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | MD
Rennfest:
We have been invited back to support the beer stations on Saturday October 16, 2021. We will need 23 volunteers to staff the stands and have relief for people to get breaks. If you are able to volunteer October 16 please let me know ASAP as I am building our list as we will need to let the Rennfest know early if we are short. As mentioned in our last meeting, we need vaccinated people to staff the stands. So I need you to advise that you are fully vaccinated. Thank you in advance. We currently have 12 vaccinated signed up. If we don’t have the 23 filled in by September 7, we will discuss in the executive meeting and provide an update at the membership meeting Wednesday September 8, of engaging another council or councils which will result in splitting our earnings. This is our largest fundraiser for the council, so let’s make this happen. To participate please email me koc8251@gmail.com.
God Bless

Novena For Life
2021-02-27 - 2021-03-07 | MD
Our Council Life Director is reaching out to all of you and requesting you consider joining a Council Novena for Life. With COVID amongst us all, we were unable to participate in the normal March for Life events. Many today do not share our Catholic views on the Right to Life. Today, we are limited in publicly showing our respect for life, but we can pray in the solitude of our hearts.

Participation in the Novena is straightforward, we are challenging all to say a prayer for the unborn in your daily prayers for the first 8 days starting on this Saturday, February 27. On the 9th day, Sunday, March 7th, we are asking you to say a Rosary for life.

40 Cans of Lent
2021-02-17 - 2021-04-04 | MD
“40 Cans for Lent”

Looking for a Lenten almsgiving program the whole family can participate in? “40 Cans for Lent” is a Knights of Columbus program to help fight hunger in our community. It began with one council in Texas in 2011, and is now nationwide. Participating in the program is simple! Just collect one non-perishable food item per day for 40 days during Lent, then two non-perishable food items for Easter Sunday. You can drop off the items you collect as you like in the blue shopping carts in front of the Church, and they’ll get delivered to OLPH Food Pantry or to the Lighthouse Shelter in Annapolis. Please consider this wonderful family activity to “give alms” this Lent!

This is an opportunity to not only show our support for the Council but an opportunity to wear them specifically at mass to show our presence and involvement. So I would encourage each brother to read the attached order form and get your mask to help the council continue our charitable activities.
Thank you in advance for your support.
During this unprecedented time of Covid 19 many of our daily activities have been curtailed. Among them are our fund-raising activities. We had to cancel our Crab Feast, Renaissance Festival, Car Raffle, and our fall Tootsie Roll Drive losing many dollars that we contribute toward supporting the Archdiocese, our Seminarians, the Food Pantry and other charities.
We are asking for your support to purchase a Knights of Columbus Council #8251 face mask for the small donation of $10.00.
Let’s advertise and promote the Knights of Columbus as the active organization that has brought and continues to bring hope and charity to our community during the current pandemic. Donate just $10.00 each for you and your family’s KofC Council logo face masks. Wear them proudly as you and yours display the commitment of the Knights to aid those in need.
