Knights of Columbus

Fr. Mac East Lansing Council 7816

THANK YOU!

The Knights of Columbus just wrapped up the most successful Fish Fry Season in our history.  Because of your support and patronage, we have served over 2000 fish dinners, and raised over $13,000.00 to support our local charities!  It was truly a pleasure to serve you, and to meet each one of you as you drove through to order and pick up your fish fry dinners.  Besides getting a great fish dinner, you have helped house a homeless person, assisted someone struggling with a difficult pregnancy, made it easier for a handicapped person to be involved in Church life,or helped a family care for a loved one who is dying.

I also want to thank everyone who came out and worked at the Fish Fry this year.  First and foremost, Past Grand Knight Art Weber, our Fish Fry Chair for all of his work in managing inventory and coordinating the crew every week.  To our kitchen crew, prep crew, serving crew, and cleanup crew, thank you for all of your work.  We couldn’t do it without you.  A special thank you goes out to our Scouts, College Knights, and Lansing Catholic Students for your help as order runners.  You all really hustled out there.  No one had to wait for their fish.  Thank you also to the Girl Scouts who set up to sell Girl Scout Cookies.  That was the perfect wrap up for a great season.

We are looking forward to seeing you all next year.  Hopefully, we will be able to offer dine in, and reconnect with each other.

As the priest explained to a small group of men at a meeting in the basement of
St. Mary's Church in October 1881, his purpose in calling them together was manifold: to help Catholic men remain steadfast in their faith through mutual encouragement: to promote closer ties of fraternity among them: and to set up an elementary system of insurance so that the widows and children of members in the group who might die would not find themselves in dire financial straits. 

St. Thomas Aquinas has a vibrant, active Knights of Columbus council.  Council #7816 invites men of our parish age 18 years and older to join and help make a difference in our community.
