A GREAT PANCAKE BREAKFAST WAS, AGAIN, HELD BY OUR COUNCIL

Although all the numbers are not yet in, feedback from those served was positive. On Saturday evening, set up was well attended and went very smoothly. On the day of the Breakfast, a very large number of Knights was in attendance throughout the day. A number were there at 6:00 a.m. sharp to get everything set up and running. An even greater number were there, throughout the breakfast, to serve a hungry crowd. Clean up went quickly and everything was put away in our storage closet, with room to spare. Approximately 259 guests were served a breakfast of pancakes, breakfast sausage, hash browns, scrambled eggs, coffee, orange juice, milk and cookies. The cookies were a big hit with the very young, and those not so young. Our next pancake breakfast, will be after the next school year starts, September of 2013. Once again, THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HELPED MAKE THIS A SPECIAL EVENT.

MONTHLY FOOD DRIVE BECOMING A PARISH TRADITION

For several years, the Knights of Columbus has spearheaded an effort to donate food and sundries to local charitable organizations, usually the Bloomingdale Township Food Pantry and St. Vincent de Paul Society. In April, parishioners stepped up to the plate once again and contributed 600 pounds of goods to the Bloomingdale Food Pantry and St. Vincent de Paul, as well as cash donations. Challenging economic conditions have made for an unfortunate increase in the need for the services of these organizations and the Knights are grateful to St. Walter parishioners for their continued, ongoing generosity to those less fortunate.
