Break out the power tools!
The Knights of Columbus help out wherever they are needed. One of the many ways we can help the Parishes is by shouldering groundskeeping tasks that would otherwise cost the Parishes much-needed funds.
Council 645 supports its host Parishes by helping out around Holy Ghost Church & Immaculate Conception Church, and by helping keep up the grounds at Calvary Cemetary.
It's time once again to gather up the power tools and head on out to Calvary Cemetery for our annual workday. The primary job is raking or blowing leaves from the cemetery grounds out to the front gates of the cemetery for pickup by the city. The cleanup is scheduled for Saturday December 6th from 9 am to 3 pm. Please make plans to attend. For more information, contact John Sholly.
Help needed at Calvary Cemetary
BRING RAKES AND TOOLS
IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE!
I wish to thank those of you who have participated in the cleanup of Calvary Cemetary. It looks a lot better, but there is still quite a bit to do there.
Anyone who has not visited the cemetary is missing the opportunity of seeing a basically beautiful historic site. It is worth the trip to see the attractive Stations of the Cross as well as to study the heritage of a number of Knoxville families.
Last year, the Church spent close to $3000.00 for the upkeep of this cemetary with no apparent improvment. It is a shame to see the only Catholic cemetary within an approximate 100-mile radius in this condition. Remember, this is our cemetary and its condition indirectly reflects on us as Catholics.
Since spring is almost upon us, we would like to form several teams of at least eight individuals to mow, trim, clean and plant flowers at the cemetary. This could probably be achieved in biweekly intervals on a team rotation basis. We need your help very badly.
To become a member of one of the teams, please contact Richard Krowicki. Messages can be forwarded via email: kc645@ntown.com.
Thank you - Richard Krowicki.
