The New Year is almost here and brother knight Jerry Pilarski is again hosting his annual New Year’s Day barbecue in the country.  The Pilarski’s have been doing this with family and friends for over FIFTY years as their way to thank friends and join together for the New Year Pig Pickingnew year.

If you know Jerry, you are invited.  If you don’t know Jerry, then it is time to learn about a wonderful person in our Knights of Columbus that has made it his personal mission to do something for others ALL THE TIME without expectation of something in return.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAThe Pig Picking Event is on January 1st. We gather at about 1:30 to 3 p.m. to be ready to serve and eat at 3:30 pm.  Dress county-casual and bring the family.  The event site sits high on a hill and the view is great and for miles in any direction.

Everyone is asked to bring a favorite covered dish or dessert to share. Beverages and pulled pig are provided with hush puppies.  Traditional southern New Year’s Day items are black-eyed peas and greens “to bring luck and prosperity” are sure to be there. We will gather for the blessing and eat at 3:30 p.m.

Special Knights Meeting – Sep 10

The Chapel Hill Knights of Columbus will have an important planning meeting, in lieu of our pancake breakfast, immediately following the 9:15 Mass on Sept 10.  We will discuss the current and future functions of the Council.  

As you are aware, with the departure of the Keeling family and the nonavailability of Tom Stoffel, the Knights of Columbus is unable to sponsor a Pancake Breakfast on September 10.   However, we will have an important planning meeting in lieu of our breakfast immediately following the 9:15 Mass on Sept 10.  We will discuss the current and future functions of the Council.

We believe this would be a great opportunity for prospective members to learn about the Knights and to share ideas and suggestions.   We are particularly interested in getting this message out to the parish Hispanic community.

We urge Council 10910 members and those considering membership in the Knights of Columbus to attend and help shape the future of the Council.    Coffee and donuts will be served.

No, you don’t have to hold a can in front of a store.  You can help use with our project to cook, prep, package and sell 1,000 pounds of pork shoulders.  Jerry Pilarski will be up all night slow cooking a massive amount of shoulders.  We need your help pulling and packaging them on February 2nd. 

This is really a fun event with fellow brother knights.  We joke, kibitz (that’s to offer unwelcome advice or encouragement) , and have fun with each other.  We call it bonding.

How about it?  Can you help?

Support Our Seminarian Raffle

As many of you know, in the past Council 10910 has mailed either four or five seminarian raffle tickets to each of our Brothers. The idea was that we would either sell the tickets to others or buy them ourselves. This year we will not be mailing the tickets, but the Council still needs your […]

As many of you know, in the past Council 10910 has mailed either four or five seminarian raffle tickets to each of our Brothers. The idea was that we would either sell the tickets to others or buy them ourselves.

This year we will not be mailing the tickets, but the Council still needs your support to make this annual campaign a success. The one half of the face value of each ticket is retained by the council.  We, in turn, contribute this money directly to individual seminarians in the Diocese of Raleigh,  Last year we were able to sponsor five seminarians with $500 grants.

ImageThe prizes are great!  There are two grand prizes.  A cruise to Alaska and a trip to Hawaii.  Of course, and above all, this is a project that supports our State Council and their many programs.  Let’s help make it a success.

Tickets are sold at St. Thomas More Church after Mass on various upcoming weekends, as well as at Pancake Breakfasts and Fish Fries. Please stop by the table in the Narthex and either buy tickets for you yourself  or pick up tickets for resale.  You are encouraged to assist in the ticket sales in the Narthex.

All knights are also encouraged to make tickets available to family, business associates, and friends.  Need extra?  Just ask.

For our Brothers who attend Mass at the Newman Center or for whatever reason would find it more convenient to receive the tickets in the mail, please contact Brendan Fitzgerald and let him know how many tickets you need. He will promptly drop them in the mail.  Order tickets

There is no limit on the number of tickets that you can buy.
