About a half dozen Council 11369 members served up pop and water at the annual St Michael Parish Picnic on Sunday September 26.

Over 200 people attended this year, many coming to say “good luck” to Deacon and Brother Knight Tom Soich who is retiring.

Our new pastor Father Jon Lavelle was at the cotton candy stand, drawing plenty of attention as he got the chance to meet more parishioners.

And the weather was perfect!

Council 11369 at our last meeting voted to give a thousand dollars in assistance to Christians living in Lebanon.

Pastor of the Basilica of Our Lady of Lebanon Shrine in North Jackson Msgr. Bill Bonczewski spoke to our members about the need there.

The basilica will even park a truck in the parking lot in October, looking for canned food, powdered milk, and other items.

This, as FS Tom Moran looks on.
