Bedford Knights of Columbus

"We offer thanks for the blessings of American liberty, a freedom that, in its extent and its endurance, is unique in human history.  We also affirm our determination to preserve that liberty, for us and for our fellow citizens, and to ask the Lord's guidance in doing so." - Supreme Knight Carl Anderson

Please check out the new page posted under "About Us" that speaks to religious freedom and its importance in maintaining our identity as Americans.

 Greetings Brother Knights:

We will be meeting atCampAllenfor our June 13 Council meeting.  The meeting will begin with dinner at 5:30 p.m. followed by a brief business meeting at 6 p.m.  We will then participate in evening camper activities.  Knights may depart any time following the business meeting if you do not wish to stay for camper activities.

As you know, we will designate the proceeds of our Tootsie Roll drive toCamp Allen.  The meeting on the 13th is great opportunity for you to familiarize yourself with the good works of the camp.  

During this meeting we will recognize the work of David Gates, our field insurance agent, who is retiring at the end of June.  David has been a great supporter of Bedford Knights and we want to use this opportunity to wish David and his wife Dorothy well in retirement.

Your proposed slate of officers for the 2012-2013 fraternal year is presented below and we will vote on the slate during our meeting on June 13.  I want to thank these men who expressed a willingness to serve our Council as part of the leadership team.

Finally, we had a very successful Diaper Driver today thanks to Mark Barnard and the many Knights who helped collect diapers and contributions.  Almost $1,500 was raised and Mark's pick up truck was full of diaper donations.  Nice work to all and the generosity of our fellow Parishoners.  The donations will be used to continue our support of St. Raphael's Food Pantry.

Many thanks for all you do to support your Council and our parish community.
