Come join us from 9:00 am - 11:00 am this Saturday and help us cleanup the outside of the Columbus Hall. We are looking for people to show up and give a hand for a couple of hours to make the outside of our club look nicer. Bring a broom, rake, shovel or leaf blower, or just show up and lend a hand. We guarantee it will be 2 hours or less depending on how many people show up.

Come out to the club on Monday May 14th from 5:00 - 8:30 pm (new longer hours) for a freshly made fish sandwich with fries for only $6. That is correct, we are offering fish sandwiches this Monday, along with burgers. If you are tired of burgers this is a chance to change it up, or if you love our burgers we will have those also. This event is open to the public so bring some friends down to the Columbus Hall, at 5300 N Grand River Avenue, and enjoy a burger at the club.
Council 788 is looking for volunteers to help sell flowers after the masses this weekend, proceeds to benefit Right to Life. We need volunteers for the Saturday 4:30 and 6:30 masses and Sunday after the 9:00 and 11:00 masses. You can contact Hilary Goerge @ (517) 899-2206 and let him know if you can help or just come to the back of church after communion. Thanks for your support.
A friend of mine and I were discussing our favorite literary characters that display virtue. She recommended the book Les Miserables and while on vacation I finished the novel.
The story is about a convicted criminal who is filled with hatred and contempt for the world. His life is changed when he encounters a priest who conveys love and compassion to him without expecting anything in return. The convict changes his ways and becomes a man of true virtue. The author shows how in some cases, people are impacted by his holiness, and in other cases people look down on him because he doesn't think of himself, only others.
While reading the book, I would pause and reflect on the positive, and negative impact I have on the world around me. Just like anyone else, I have good and bad days.
Being a Knight has helped me be a better man. Working side by side with other men trying to live properly. Showing our wives, children, and the community what being a man is all about. Serving our church by giving up our free time to help in even the smallest ways. These are all good things.
We owe each man in our parishes the opportunity to be a knight. To help them become better men, to help us be better men, and to help build the church through service.
