Kettlecorn for VBS
Christ The King Vacation Bible school concluded with huge bash for the children, parents and volunteers. Over 200 attendees, including Bishop J. Stowe, attended. Council 14130 (Cathedral of Christ the King) cooked over 200 burgers and hotdogs, but the fan-favorite is their special Kettlecorn. 14130 has supported the end of the summer bash for Vacation Bible School for three years, it’s been a great relationship between the Knights and the parish’s Coordinator of Children’s Catechesis – Karen Kirkland. There was a great turnout for a fun evening.
Council 16206 Painting Party
The Father John Garvey H.M. Council at Jesus Our Savior Catholic Church in Morehead Kentucky, has been serving the Church since their inception. This week was an example of us giving back. On Wed 7/22 the date of Our Knights monthly, “Night of Adoration” was started by the undertaking of a “Painting Party”. The rectory’s Deck was visibly in need of a face lift. The Knights jumped right in. A group of Knights painted on Wed. and applied a second coat early Saturday morning. The deck looks great!! Our Rectory and Newman Center – the center aimed at serving the needs of Morehead State University Catholic students, are now ready for the Fall semester, and our new Priest.
