The Knights of Columbus St. John Paul II Council 16492 presented a $2,000 check to the Bit of Faith
Ranch under its Citizens With Disabilities Campaign. Money raised from the annual Tootsie Pop
fundraiser provides donations to several organizations. Bit of Faith Ranch is a community where
individuals and families impacted by autism and related disabilities can experience belonging, growth
and relationships through horseback riding. From left to right are Aidan; Pete Falcone, Deputy Grand
Knight; Tammy Romanczuk, Executive Director; Hannah; Joseph Pitisci, Community Director; and
Caleb.

The annual St. Vincent de Paul’s Friends of the Poor Walk/Run is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 24 kicking off in the SPJII parking lot. This is a terrific opportunity to volunteer and personally participate and donate to the SPJII Conference which raises money to help people in our surrounding communities.

SVdP aids those who are struggling to make ends meet in this very difficult time when everything from food to rent is skyrocketing. You can help by volunteering, signing up to walk/run, helping at our information table or making a personal contribution.

Now in its 15th year, the Walk/Run is an annual event. Last September, we had a wonderful outpouring by fellow Knights of commitment, friendship and fellowship.

Brother Knights,
As we begin the new Fraternal Year, let us build on the momentum from last years successes. Our
membership gain was 422% adding 41 new brothers to our council. We also had 31 brothers that
transferred in from other councils. Our fundraising allowed us to donate more than $61,000. We had
more than 3000 hours of service and received multiple awards at the state convention. We made new
friends and touched the hearts of so many in our parish and community. This was all made possible by
your understanding of what it means to be a Knight, your dedication and commitment to help those
who need it most, and the execution of the principals of our order. You should know that thanks to your
efforts, we are one of the top councils in the state and the nation.
Together we will continue our journey to keep doing our good works. To have a positive impact in our
community, to support and build strong families, to raise up our parish, and to help those who count on
us for support.
May God continue to bless our work.
Vivat Jesus,
Ken Gault
Grand Knight

The Knights of Columbus St John Paul II Council 16492 hosted a Golf Tournament in May 2022 for the purpose of helping to build a church at St John Paul II Parish. This fundraiser was very successful and proceeds exceeded the goal we had set last year when the campaign kicked off. Thank you to all the participants, sponsors, council leaders and volunteers. The Knights are committed to help build a church campus here at St John Paul II Parish. We have already scheduled another Golf Tournament to this cause in May 2023.
