| St. Francis Xavier Council 12067 donated $1,200 from the proceeds of their 12th Annual Golfing Tournament to the Silent Children’s Mission charity. The council has been supporting this charity for over 7 years during which time they have donated over $6,000. |
On Tuesday, November 19th the
council held it first Fraternal
Activity Night (FAN) in honour of our late CGK Mathew Rodrigues, for the
current fraternal year 2013-14. The evening was preceded by a short general meeting
to pass two important motions, one for making a donation of $2,000 to the St.
Francis Xavier Church and the second $1,000 to the Typhoon Haiyan Fund, to
support the devastation in the Philippines. Both motions were passed
unanimously by the brothers.
The Fraternal Activity Night was attended
by 100 brothers, 4 candidates who were interviewed recently, Chaplain
Msgr.Edgardo Pan, District Deputy Joseph Zielinski, Maureen Rodrigues, spouse
of late CGK Mathew Rodrigues and Frankie Burg-Feret, Executive Director, Silent
Children’s Mission.
The Chair and MC for the evening was Bro.
William Fernandes and he was ably supported by a team of hard working knights,
who assisted all evening and prior to the event-thank you to all the knights
who helped make this FAN night a big success. As well thank you brother knights
for making the time to spend the evening with a fraternal activity, as without
your presence and support the evening would not have been a successful one. The
catering for the evening was undertaken by Konkan Delite which is owned by Bro.
Loy D’Souza who is a member of our council.
Our next FAN night is scheduled for Friday,
January 24th @ 7 p.m. at the Parish Hall and the
Chair for this event is PGK Valens Almeida. This FAN evening will be different
in that we will give the brother knights who have their own businesses the
opportunity to speak in brief and to showcase their business coupled with
games. More to come from the Chair so stay tuned.
Fraternally,
Edwin D'Cruz
Grand Knight and the Executive Team
St. Francis Xavier Council 12067
