Brothers,

Based on the latest weather forecast and information available, we have decided to move our picnic from Saturday, August 10th to Sunday, August 11th. Hours for the picnic will remain 1pm - 6pm. This extra day should hopefully give the outdoor picnic area ample time to dry out well enough to ensure a safe and fun environment for all.

As previously announced, our picnic will include free food, beverages and music and we'll have lots of fun, free activities for families and kids of all ages. Menu offerings will include:
• Burgers
• Hot Dogs
• BBQ Chicken
• Sausage & Peppers
• Corn on the Cob
• Assorted Salads
• Chicken Nuggets
• French Fries
• Watermelon
• Cookies
Come on out to relax and have some fun with your family and your brother Knights while enjoying some free music, games, food and drinks!

Please don't forget to bring your own lawn chairs, tables and tents.

I look forward to seeing you and your families on Sunday!

Vivat Jesus!

Fraternally,
GK Bob Vyskocil

Thank you, Sisters! St. Dominic, pray for us!

🌟 Happy Feast Day of St. Dominic! 🌟

Today we celebrate St. Dominic, founder of the Dominican Order, whose life of preaching, teaching, and seeking truth continues to inspire us. His dedication to spreading the Gospel and serving others with compassion is a beacon of faith and charity.

Let’s honor his legacy by reflecting on his teachings and finding ways to infuse our own lives with his spirit. Whether through prayer, acts of kindness, or the pursuit of truth, let’s follow his example and celebrate this special day together.

🙏🏼 St. Dominic, pray for us! 🙏🏼
