Au Lac Council 10724 in Ira Township sponsors two teams in a local men's church softball league on Fridays in St. Clair. The council has sponsored teams for many years in local softball leagues and has recruited several new members as a result. The players and their families enjoy the faith, fun and fellowship with other churches at the games and afterwards they meet downtown in St. Clair for food and drinks while listening to live music.
St Catherine of Siena Council 6980 in Portage held a Faith, Fellowship, and Fun event on June 23. 17 members and 4 possible new members enjoyed food, corn hole, watching the moon via a high powered telescope, and a couple of videos from “Into the Breach” series.

On this eve of the new fraternal year, I extend my sincere thanks and appreciation for all you have done for the Michigan jurisdiction these past two years. The cooperation and hard work by the hundreds of volunteers, the thousands of miles traveled across the state, and the countless hours of meetings, phone calls, and activities in faith and programs, has produced so much goodness that Blessed McGivney surely must be proud. I sure am! Additionally, the concern, compassion and cooperation you have shared personally with me and Lady Mandy has been a beautiful expression of true fraternity. We have been inspired and encouraged by many lovely cards, letters and emails over the last couple years. We are blessed to know so many GOOD people.
Thanks to my fellow state officers for sticking with me through our challenges as each of you fulfilled your unique roles and continue to dedicate yourselves to the future leadership of Michigan. I give my wholehearted endorsement and support to our new state board and the new/revised cast of leadership that will be installed this weekend. I will continue to contribute as best I can in my new role as Immediate Past State Deputy. May God continue to bless us with the opportunity to do His will through our involvement in the Knights of Columbus.
On June 25, Holy Spirit Catholic Church Parishioners and Father Robert W. Davey Council 8808 provided lunch to the volunteers of One Week One Street in Saginaw. One Week, One Street effort is a yearly local mission project in east Saginaw providing an opportunity for area churches, businesses, and non-profit organizations to respond to the call to "love our neighbors as ourselves." This is accomplished by painting homes, clearing brush, landscaping yards, repairing porches, and other minor exterior home repairs.

The Fr. Arnold J. Kosco Council 12808 at Prince of Peace Parish in West Bloomfield proudly presented a recognition plaque to District Deputy John Schrot of District 116 in honor of his four years of faithful service, guidance and friendship he so unselfishly provided. Mr. Schrot was especially proud of the Council’s four consecutive years of achieving Star Council. The award was presented by Grand Knight Richard Wolschlager (pictured left) during the June 16 general meeting.
