Membership Drive
The Knights of Columbus is an international Order of Catholic men who are called to lead with faith, protect our families, serve others and defend values in a busy changing world. Your Knights from the Edmund P. Perkins Council 6626 support St. Matthew Church, while Knights from the Our Lady of Fatima Council 4122 support St. Bernard Church.
We are holding a membership drive at all Masses at St. Matthew and St. Bernard Churches on the weekend of December 10 and 11. You will find that Knights of Columbus membership brings Catholic men together in a powerful way.
For a free membership offer, simply go to KofC.org/join, use Promo Code BLESSEDMCGIVNEY and enter council 6626 if St. Matthew is your primary church, or 4122 if St. Bernard is your primary church.
Keep Christ in Christmas Poster Competition
The Knights from Council 4122 & Council 6626 have joined with the Faith Formation Ministry of the Blessed Sacrament Parish to have a “Keep Christ in Christmas” poster contest for grades K thru 8.
There will be a winner selected in 3 areas: Grades K-2, Grades 3-5, and Grades 6-8. The winners will receive a $25 award; and their posters will be submitted to a district level competition.
The intent of this contest is to get our children to expand their concept of what the birth of Jesus means to them and the world as a whole. (Ex. “Why did He come?”; “How did He come?”). Materials will be provided to each person who would like to participate in the program, along with an application and the rules that will be used to judge each submission. Their posters will be posted in the parish hall of each church; and, will also be posted on our parish website in the photos option.
ALL posters must be submitted by December 15th
