The last remaining Icon Our Lady Help of Persecuted Christians has found a home at St Mary Catholic Church in Chelsea.
Fr William Turner, former Knights of Columbus State Chaplain was elated to receive the Icon. For years the Icon was without a home then my wife Suzanne came to the rescue and suggested Fr Bill. Knowing that Fr Bill is PSD Ken Unterbrink’s pastor I called Ken and asked him if he thought Fr Bill would be interested – he replied ‘oooooooh yeah’. The rest is history!

Sunday April 24th, three Knights of Columbus councils participated in a bike giveaway at Our Lady of the Lakes Catholic Church in Waterford Michigan.
Our Lady of the Lakes recently joined the expanding program. Despite the chilly weather, the day was a success, after all, it’s hard to frown when you’re riding a bike.
Thank you to everyone who made this day happen.
