Your continued prayers for the Seminarians and the Abbey 
are needed and always appreciated.
  
Thanks for your Service
Thanks to all who assisted Brother Greg Nemec with the Council Monthly BBQ Cook this past weekend.  It appears that the sales were brisk but we did not sell out.  Looks like we will have Ribs, Chicken, and Sausage (with a few sides) for our meal on the 10th. Come and join us for this social meeting and sample the BBQ team's cooking.  Sorry I do not have a list of the Brother Knights who supported the cook as I was out of town at the State Convention 

Thanks again to all the cooks, sales team, and buyers who supported our Council.
