At a District #113 Exemplification late in February, 3 new members were added to the rolls of Fr. George Ging Council #6824, and in so doing they reached 100% of their 2025-2026 quota goal!
The new members include, in the front row, L-R: Easton Calkins, Matt Burkhart, and Gary Burkhart.
Council #6824 serves the St. Anne Parish located in Ortonville, MI, and the Grand Knight is Dr. Bryan Born. Looks like this council is headed towards "Star District!"
The large group shot is with the new Brother Knights, other members of Council #6824, and the entire Exemplification Team from the Pope Saint John XXIII Council #5436 located in Waterford, MI. Our District Deputy is Chris Scheuer.
Since last week's report 11 additional councils have achieved the ASAP Incentive Membership gain and with 4 additional councils completing the ASAP Grant Application. This incentive ends March 31st so miss out on the additional $250 toward your council's ASAP donation to a local pregnancy center or maternity home!
This incentive is a great way to invite pro-life men who are not yet Knights of Columbus to join your council.
When speaking with them, be sure to tell them about ways your council supports the dignity of life at every stage — and let them know that just by joining before March 31, they’re helping you do that work.
Anthony the Great explained that Abraham's response to God's call—to do as God directed and leave everything behind—is the model for how we should respond to Jesus's call to repent and follow Him. In today's Dad Talk, we'll discuss the circumstances that make Abraham's response so remarkable, and what following Jesus means for us today. Please share with a friend, and God bless! Dad
