Despite some rain and the threat of rain throughout the event, most Knights of Columbus 11369 members and family who said they were coming turned out for the annual council picnic at the Chestnut Hill Pavilion at Mill Creek Park on Friday August 10.

About 25 people enjoyed the feast, including hamburgers, sausage sandwiches, corn on the cob from Molnar’s Farm, and great side dishes prepared by our members and their wives.

(The rain made it a little tough to cook on the grill, but we did it!)

Despite being unable to play any games because of the weather, we enjoyed each other’s company!

The rain also gave GK Miros a great excuse for not letting us ride along in his fancy convertible!

Despite the rain on the outside, the food and K of C families stayed dry under the pavilion.

Knights of Columbus Council 11369 was looking for a way to say “thanks” to St Michael parishioners who have been so generous over the years during our ticket sales campaigns, soup sales, Christmas card sales and more.

So on Sunday, August 5th, the council hosted a FREE pancake and sausage breakfast in the church hall.

It was another of those warm summer days, so not everyone was in the mood for “hot”cakes, but we had a nice turnout, especially following the 9 a.m. Mass.

We also asked for optional donations for an improvement project at the Right to Life memorial at the St Paul Monastery in Ellsworth Township.

We again thank Father Terry for approving our fundraising activities, and thank all parishioners for being so generous.
