This weekend’s front cover of our bulleting was given to us by our Knights. Rightly so, as St. Clare Council # 12479 celebrates its 15 year anniversary. It is with great pride that we honor these men of our parish who dedicate their time, skills, and resources in the service of the Church,  our country, and beyond. These men of faith and action make our parish community hospitable, active, and visible in our community-volunteering at various parish activities and programs; building our sense of belonging through serving at the social gatherings; helping the young people to develop their skills; supporting veterans and  vocations; taking an active role in the liturgical celebration in our parish and beyond; and always ready to help and assist.  An election of new officers for 2014-2015 took place in May. Here are their names: 

• Grand Knight:  Larry Radgowski
• Deputy Grand Knight:  Thomas Blondell
• Financial Secretary: George Cascos
• Chancellor: Joseph Farrah
• Recorder: Steven Quinn
• Treasurer: Thomas Lopiccolo
• Advocate: Dennis Panas
• Warden: Mark Pfiefer
• Inside Guard: Stan Fildew
• Outside Guard: Ronald Farrah
• Trustees:  Charles McCuen III, Russell Zakolski, Robert Ternes
• Chaplain: Fr. Andrew Kowalczyk, CSMA
• Lecturer: Deacon Larry Ruehlen 

We wish them a very successful year and many blessings in their service and ministry. Please join me in congratulating and praying for our Knights and their families. Come and join them at the front of our church for a special continental breakfast. Congratulations and Vivat Jesus!
