Congratulations Brother Knights and welcome to St. William Chisholm Trail Council 9368!


Feast of Corpus Christi June 10

On the feast of Corpus Christi, June 10 at 6 p.m., there will be a eucharistic procession and benediction at San José Parish in Austin.Each parish should consider sending four or five parishioners to represent their parish community in order to make this a diocesan event. The feast is a very important one and gives us the opportunity to be united as a diocese in prayer for a deeper understanding of and appreciation for the gift of the Eucharist.

The office of Hispanic Ministry and Young Adult Ministry is coordinating a eucharistic procession for young adults on June 10. The day begins with Mass at Cristo Rey Parish in Austin at 7 a.m. A procession will then lead to San José Parish in Austin. For more information, call the Hispanic Ministry office at (512) 726-0408

Council Participates in 'Project Graduation'

Again this year, our council will be helping Round Rock High Proud Dragon Parents with their Project Graduation.

 

Project Graduation will be at Clay Madsen Recreation Center, 1600 Gattis School Road.  Our show up time will be no later than 10:15 pm on Friday May 25.  We will deal from 10:30 pm to 2:00 am the following morning.  Suggested dress for the evening is white shirt, black (or dark) pants, and bow tie if you have one.

 

We are still in need of a few more dealers.  If you are so inclined, please give me a call so that I can make sure that we have enough people and to get your name on the volunteer list. 

 

If you are unable to deal, but would like to help, I need a couple of people to help me set up a little earlier on Friday evening.

State Convention Report

This year Knights of Columbus State Convention was held May 4 & 5 in Corpus Christi. I had the opportunity to attend along with two other Brother Knights and their families. It was a record year for attendance for KC members, a total of 637 delegates attended including participating KC brothers and families. Two archbishops and six bishops from across Texas also attended.  

 Irma and I celebrated Mass Saturday evening, it was awesome being among all my Brother Knights. The presence of the Holy Spirit was amongst us during the weekend. 

Elections were conducted for State Officers with no change for 2007-2008 fiscal year. I invite you to experience a State Convention. Next year our convention will be in Dallas, May 2 through 4, 2008.  It promises to be a good one!
