On a hot and humid Sunday this annual procession proceeded through local streets around the parish. Fathers Mike and Felix took turns carrying the monstrance containing the body of our Lord Jesus. A canopy covered the priest and the monstrance throughout the more than one mile procession. Along the way we stopped at the houses of two parish families (Bill & Mary Pat Myers and Dan & Kandi Novak) where tables adorned with flowers were set up so the monstrance could be placed there in reverence while prayers were led by the priests and the many Holy Family members who participated. 3rd Degree Knights in their Council red shirts carried the canopy while a number of other Knights assisted with directing traffic, providing water for hydration and helping a couple of individuals who had some trouble with the heat and humidity. Three, 4th degree Sir Knights in uniform marched in front and behind the canopy in respect for our Lord Jesus.

October 10, 2024 — Visit to Open House for new Portage County Pregnancy Center
Photo from an Open House at the new Portage County Pregnancy Center. This was a “special Open House” for members of the various Councils that contributed to the purchase of the new ultrasound equipment that can be seen in this photo. Our Council donated $5,000 to help purchase this equipment. Other Councils from Portage and Mahoning Counties also partnered with us to raise almost $40,000. This photo shows all the Knights from the various Councils who attended the Open House, including our Council Knights shown and identified in the photo below.

Dear Brother Knights, last Tuesday was our annual Installation and Award's Dinner. We had a great turnout of 71 people and enjoyed a basic, but delicious meal.

The following are this 2023's awards winners:

- Knight Neil & Elena McHale and children: Gavin, Rachel & Laura — “Family of the Year”

- Knight Andy Kaminski — “Knight of the Year”
Additionally, my wife, Kay and I were both surprised by receipt of separate “Certificates of Merit” from the Council Trustees presented to us by Trustee Pat Rynd. It was a very special evening that left a lot of people smiling at the end. See the photos below. You know the expression, “A Picture is worth a thousand words”!!
