June 23 Meeting Highlights
Submitted by Mark Romer on July 16, 2008 - 2:16pm.
Here are some highlights of our June 23 meeting.
- We conducted a First Degree, and brought three new men into the Council: Deacon Dan Brown, Morse Rose and Paul Simms.
- We conducted officer elections, and elected our new board of officers for the 2008/09 Fraternal Year.
- Adam Williams read a letter from Fr. Bill Stellini, outlining the fact that the Diocese of Memphis is having to cut back the stipend given monthly to each of our seminarians. This year we will have 24 seminarians in the diocese, and the monthly stipend will only be $75 monthly for each of them. Fr. Stellini asked that we consider trying to raise money to increase this stipend, in addition to the money we are raising for the seminarians' emergency use fund.
- Prayers were offered for: Rita Clare Krog (broken femur and arm), Dan Romer (loss of strength from medication), Kathy Romer (loss of energy from pregnancy), Jim Cortese's mother-in-law (cancer), Deacon Fred Brunner (dialysis and heart problems), Carole Brunner (cancer), Audra Gavin (in a coma).
