The Memphis and Richmond Councils held a joint Corporate Communion Aug 2 nd at Holy Family in Memphis. They invited The Daughters of Isabella along with Knights of Bikes to join them, escorted by Fourth Degree Color Corps. Fr Mark Livingston celebrated Mass with Deacon Alan Gwodz. Attendance was very good and it was an exceptional Corporate Communion.
The Lake Orion K of C Council 4764 held their annual summer picnic at Camp Agawam. The beautiful August weather welcomed an impressive turnout including State Deputy Charlie McCuen as well as Fr Jim Kean of St Joseph Parish in Lake Orion.
The afternoon was a great display of Knight “Fraternity” at its finest (with a heavy dose of grilled hamburgers, brats, & dogs).
Today the Michigan Knights of Columbus join our brothers across the Order in celebrating the birthday of our founder, Blessed Michael McGivney.
As a young parish priest he saw Catholic families struggling and answered with faith, courage, and practical charity. That same spirit still moves us here in Michigan — in our local councils, our parish support, our work for the vulnerable, and the fraternal bonds that strengthen our communities across the Great Lakes State.
On his birthday, may we ask for the grace to notice the opportunities God places right in front of us and respond with the same generosity he showed.
Join the Father Michael J. McGivney Guild, submit prayer intentions, and continue praying for his canonization at fathermcgivney.org
Blessed Michael McGivney, pray for us! Vivat Jesus!

Between July 31st and August 2nd, Au Lac Council 10724 supported the Immaculate Conception Parish Perch Festival in Ira Township. Everyone had a great time, especially at the K of C Dunk Tank, and the Council was able to use the Banner and Tablecloth that they were rewarded with during the last Fraternal year to set up a Membership and Recruiting table at the festival.
