Welcome to September


Brothers,


September is one of the best times of the year. The weather is turning, the kids are back in school, the beaches are quiet, the leaves are changing, and football season is finally here. It is a wonderful time to celebrate and enjoy the season together.


This September also marks 25 years since September 11, 2001. Having worked in New York City for many years both before and after that day, it is a time I will never forget. While there are many shows, articles, and opinions surrounding the anniversary, we are reminded of why Blessed Michael McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus: to support families who lost a parent. Support isn't just about financial aid; it is about spending time, listening, and showing people that we care. That is what KOC Council 6201 has always done and will continue to do.


Please join us in our works of Charity, Unity, and Fraternity. Council 6201 has a very active schedule ahead. If you check our calendar on the Knight website [https://www.kofc6201.com], you will see everything we have planned. I invite each of you to get involved. We have many great opportunities to serve our community together. Please review the list below and the calendar, and if something catches your eye, jump right in. If you have new ideas to support our church or community, we would love to hear them.

I would like to personally invite members who do not regularly visit the Club to stop by, attend a meeting, or join us for an event. As the saying goes, many hands make light work, and I hope to see you around the Club lending a hand. Don't be a stranger, this is your council and club.

We hope to see you come out this summer and help at one of our fine events.

Please keep an eye out for emails that are sent out and check the website for an up-to-date calendar of events.


God bless you, your Families, and God Bless America!


Vivat Jesus!

Mary Queen Of The Knights! Pray for us!
