The Golf Classic has raised $135,000.00 over the past 13 years for the Catholic Charities Life Line Fund. This year’s check for $15,000 was presented at our monthly Bishop Flaget Assembly 307 meeting on August 25th at Fr. Bealer Council 3908 in Elsmere, KY.

Congratulations to Greg Rhineheimer (and his wife) for organizing and orchestrating a beautiful procession of the holy eucharist in Nicholasville.
The St. Luke parish and council #10263 hosted a wonderful mass followed by a eucharistic procession prior leading into their parish picnic. Assembly #3929’s Color Guard assisted with many #10263 Knights and families in attendance.
To my knowledge, this was the first Eucharistic procession in KY in the new fraternal year. Thank you Fr. Aldrin Tayag for the invitation to participate as well as to all the Knights present at mass. Way to go council #10263 and assembly #3929.

In the last week of July, catastrophic flooding hit parts of Eastern Kentucky extremely hard (News Story). And more rain and extreme heat are expected to hit the same area soon.
Kentucky State Deputy Tom Johnson put out a call to all the Kentucky councils and asked them to help out however they could. And many have answered the call already. Some with financial donations and some with supplies and manpower.
If you would like to make a financial contribution to assist those in need due to the flooding, please make your check out to “KofC Charities of Kentucky” and write “Flood Relief” in the memo line. Then mail it to:

Thank you to everyone that is helping those in need, may God bless you all.
The Fr. Roy Dentinger Council #390 at St. Patrick Catholic Church just received a Certificate of Recognition for commitment and dedication to the American Red Cross lifesaving mission. We collected 672 unit donations from 2020-21, an average of 61 units each drive. The Council took over the blood drive from the parish in 2017 and has gone from averaging 25-30 units per drive to the latest average.
