Knights of Columbus Bishop Haas Council #4362 along with family members of Father Theodore J Kozlowski hosted a 90th birthday party for him on March 12th.

With family and council members there was about 70 in attendance. Family members came as far away as Texas.

Father Ted has been the Chaplain of our Council for 27 plus years, leading the council in its spiritual needs. And he continues to serve as the pastor of Our Lady of Sorrows Parish in Grand Rapids.

The council most recently did some remodeling and purchased some new furniture, a new lift type recliner and sofa and tables. New taller toilets were installed, and his bedroom brought to the main level of the rectory. Father Ted is a very modest priest he doesn't ask for a lot.

Father was presented with a certificate of Appreciation for his years of service to His Church and Council.

We  had a TON of fun at our 10th Annual Pinewood Open on Saturday February 11 raising money for Coats for Kids!

I’ve been participating in that event for years, and the excitement and energy from the kids surrounding the track to watch their cars race this year was second to none!

We had some familiar faces and plenty of new faces. We welcomed Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and plenty other children and adults of all ages. It was a great time and I’m already looking forward to next year.
