Knights of Columbus District Soccer Challenge / Taste and See Banquet...Two Great Weekend Events for Council 3910
Brother John Curry on a "Football Frenzy..." Easily Sells Five Sweepstakes Tickets...Takes on Six More
On September 12th, Saturday, at 1:30 PM, at St. Frances de Sales Catholic Church Soccer Field, Council 3910 Contestants Daniel Ramirez and Pedro Rangel, pictured left with DD Ed LeSage and GK Chris Moras, once again won in their lightly contested category of the Knights of Columbus Soccer Challenge. They will advance to the Diocesan Challenge at the same location on October 10th, at 1:30 PM. Both scored well and look forward to the advanced event in October. Under cloudy, rainy skies, both boys proved that they have what it takes to advance in this great exhibition event. Later that evening, a contingent of Knights, and Sisters from the Dominican Order of St. Catherine's Convent in Southwest Houston, enjoyed a wonderful time at the St. Thomas More Medical Mission's Taste and See Banquet. Pictured right are Brother Irvin Schueler and Chris Moras with Sisters Theresa Gabriel and Angela. The Knights donated a table of eight to the event to support this mission which helps so many poor and needy people in Central and South America. In other news...Brother John Curry quickly sells five Football Frenzy tickets and on Sunday, September 13th, stops by the GK's home and says: "I need more tickets...These things are selling..." I said "John, great, tell everybody about it!" John, pictured left, will do a great job with these. For $10 apiece, a purchaser can participate in a $10,000 purse, by winning up to $400 weekly, if the NFL teams listed on their ticket scores the most points starting November 1st. Winners are paid weekly and the deadline for selling these is October 9th. Hurry and pick yours up. For each ticket sold, the Council's per capita assessment is reduced by $1. Every dollar collected goes to the Knights of Columbus.
Brother Knights Turn Out Wednesday Evening for St. Thomas More School's "Big Move"
"...Cool September Evening Makes For an Easy Go of it...For The Kids We'll Move Anything..."
Knights of Columbus Council 3910 turned out for the "Big Move" on Wednesday evening, as a cool September sun set on the playgrounds and new facilites complex of St. Thomas More Parish. The Parish needed help with moving books, furniture, and various other items into the Gym Complex's new facilities. As the Knights, including but not limited to Robert Lesikar, Chris Moras, Jack Ferguson, Ed Gosline, Operations Chief, Tom Mack, John O'Shea, BIll Izard, Irvin Shueler, and Dan Tolopka, looked upon the freshly painted walls and varnished floors of the new facilities, they could only imagine the great benefit that this complex would provide to countless children over the next 50 years or so. In reality, this is why this complex exists: For Children. This is how we as adults make our society and faith reflect the ideals of Jesus, our Christ, by investing in, and effectively providing for, an environment to nurture those who will come after us. There is no better place for St. Thomas More Parish Church and School to invest its available resources than in the children of this parish, vis a vis the facilities that they will utilize,. The children that these new facilities will help develop, in mind, body, and spirit, will be a priceless result of these sensibly-applied resources.
The move was effected by pickup trucks, a farm tractor and trailer, dollies, and thank goodness, a facilities elevator, to get us to the second floor of the complex. Ed Gosline, Council Chaplain, generally directed the move, utilizing a master list of items that needed to be transported from the old, to the new facilities.
