Pancakes for F.I.S.H.!

On Sunday, March 1, 2020, Archbishop Elder Council held a pancake breakfast. Once again, thanks to the generous parishioners of St. Gertrude it was a big success. In the spirit of Unity, Fraternity, Charity, and Patriotism, all proceeds of the breakfast were given to St. Susanna Council for the benefit of F.IS.H. (Friends In Service of Heroes). St. Susanna is fundraising in order to purchase a service dog for a veteran in need of help, and Elder Council is grateful for the opportunity to help.

At our March business meeting on Thursday, March 5, 2020, Grand Knight Bob Stucker and Deputy Grand Knight Phil Motz, presented George Denman, the Grand Knight of St. Susanna Council #10272 with a check for their F.I.S.H. fundraising effort. – Vivat Jesus!

Bobbie Fairfax Free Throw Contest

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.
