Council #6223 of the Irish Hills hosted their annual Christmas party, a delightful evening of dinner and fellowship. The event was attended by all council members, their children, and grandchildren, as well as the families of the parish who had children. Over 50 children were present, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus and to receive a personalized gift. Witnessing the joy in the little ones' eyes as they sat on Santa's lap and received their presents was truly rewarding for the Knights.
The dinner itself was a delicious feast, accompanied by Christmas carols sung by the attendees. The atmosphere was filled with the true spirit of Christmas. The shoppers responsible for selecting the appropriate gifts for each individual did an exceptional job!
Once again, the Irish Hills Council demonstrated their unwavering generosity towards the community, a virtue they practice throughout the year. Their kindness extends to the parish, the local community, and various charitable organizations they support annually. Whether it involves constructing ramps for the disabled, repairing roofs, contributing to local meals for the homeless, donating funds to numerous organizations, or assisting families with specific needs, the council is always ready and willing to lend a helping hand. Their commitment to making a positive impact is truly commendable.
On January 9th, District Deputy 111 John Carry and State Deputy Regional Representative Paul Thorn traveled to downtown Rochester to deliver the December 2023 Council of the Month award to Grand Knight Jim Soisson of Fr. Baumgartner Council 5452, at their Council meeting at the Rochester Community House. The council is now qualified for Star Council and looking to achieve Double Star.
This was also a very special occasion for SDRR Paul; he had served as Grand Knight of the council from 1997 – 1999 and also as their District Deputy from 1999 – 2003.
Congratulations to Council 5452!
