On Thursday, March 5, worthy brothers GK Bob Stucker, John Mullan, Al Stevenson, and Jonathan Ring assisted at the annual Bobbie Fairfax Free Throw Contest.

Bobbie Fairfax is a school for individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. The Free Throw Contest was originally sponsored by Bishop Fenwick Council back in the late 1980’s. After a hiatus, the event resurfaced about four years ago. Four councils currently participate in funding and manning the event: St Michael, Abp. Elder, Bishop Fenwick, and St. John. Funding includes t-shirts, medals, plaques, and apple sauce for the participants.

It was a lot of fun for all involved.

On Thursday March 5, Fr. Rob Jack spoke with Ohio State Advocate Mike Felerski and Western Ohio General Agent Jason Staas. You can listen here (the interview begins about the 37 minute mark):

Here is the blog post that our Worthy Lecturer, Nick Jobe, shared with us at December’s business meeting:

Oct. 13, 2019 – Abp. Elder Council hosted a great Columbus Day Celebration. Following a Corporate Communion Mass, our Worthy Chaplain, Fr. André-Joseph A. LaCasse, O.P. blessed our restored Parade Banner. Master of Ceremonies, Chancellor Pete Marcello discussed the history of Christopher Columbus and the Knights of Columbus. PGK Tom Hahn talked about the history of our 1907 Parade Banner and it’s recent restoration. Because our Worthy Warden John Ring was not able to attend, his son, Brother Jonathan Ring explained the work and symbolism that went into the construction of the display case for the newly restored banner. District Deputy Mark Kosebud conducted an Official Sword Presentation to John Mock. Years ago, John’s mother had lent our Council the use of his father’s 4th Degree Sword for any Knights in need of one, and now our Council was returning it to their family with deep gratitude. John discussed with us his father’s, Larry Mock, service to our country, the Church, and the Knights of Columbus. All in attendance also learned about the Honor Flights Program and received information on volunteering for this noble endeavor. Food, drinks, and good conversation was had by all. Vivat Jesus!
