Council 15967 conducts Strategic Review and supports Vocations at Guest House

By: Matt Hoxsie - Sun, Sep 21, 2025 11:28 AM

Last winter, the leadership of Council 15967 at St. Daniel, Clarkston, met to review the

charitable organizations they support and to consider new ones with input from members.

One outcome was the decision to support Guest House in Lake Orion, which provides

treatment, education, and care for Catholic clergy, religious, and seminarians struggling with

addictions and behavioral health challenges. With a high success rate, Guest House helps them

return to a healthy, thriving ministry.

 

Grand Knight Greg Ebejer recently organized a visit for all councils in District 113 to meet Guest

House staff, learn about their impactful work, and tour the facility.

 

Thank you, Council 15967, for your leadership in supporting vocations.

 

Chris Scheuer, District Deputy 113

 

Grand Knight Greg Ebejer of Council 15967 presents a donation to the Guest House CEO, joined by District 113 councils from Lake Orion, Waterford, and Ortonville.
