Knights of Columbus - Saint Mark the Evangelist

Have you ever wondered what a church usher does?  Or what it would be like to help as an usher? 
Years ago the primary duties of a church usher consisted of simply escorting people to their seats and passing the collection baskets at Sunday masses.
Today an usher's primary duty is to help fellow parishioners as they come to celebrate mass.  Their efforts begin as they greet people entering the church, offering a kind word, handing them a song sheet, and helping those who may need assistance getting to their seat.  
Ushers also welcome first time visitors, help those with health issues, offer assistance during Communion, and distribute bulletins at the end of mass. 
Being an usher is a service to the parish, to the pastor, and to the congregation and a worthwhile way to help others.

Please give some thought to helping as an usher and if interested
please contact Deacon Ralph ( [email protected] ) for more details.  Thank you!

Giving the GIFT of LIFE: 


Blood drives are an integral part of maintaining an adequate blood supply for the area's healthcare facilities.  The Knights are doing their part by sponsoring another blood drive on October 1st at the Saint Kilian church hall.  Donors are greatly apreciated and always welcome.

Hope to see you there!

First of all, a special thank you to all our parishioners for supporting our monthly soup sales. 
The monthly soup making season(Oct-Feb) is our largest fund raising effort, which supports many of the charitable services the Council provides to the Parish community
Soup weekends occur monthly from October through February and  involve preparing a variety of soups (Wedding, Chicken Noodle, & Stuffed Pepper) on a Saturday morning and then selling it after each mass at Saint Kilian's that weekend.

Our first "Soup Sale" of this season will be held on the weekend of October 14-15.  Your support is greatly appreciated!
