Archbishop Elder Council 1195

On Saturday, February 19, 2022, our Worthy Chaplain, Fr. George Schommer, OP, was joined by Fr. Michael Dosch, OP and the Novices of the St. Joseph Province of the Dominican Order, Ohio State Treasurer Mike Felerski, and parishioners of St. Gertrude, to bless the new ultrasound machine at Elizabeth New Life Center in Forest Park. It was a wonderful event with a good turn out. Once again, Abp. Elder Council wishes to thank the parishioners of St. Gertrude Church for their generosity, the Supreme Council for their matching funds program, and the fantastic people that work at the Center for their dedication in saving lives.

On Wednesday, December 29th, 2021, the brothers of Abp. Elder Council celebrated the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ at Ferrari’s Little Italy in Madeira. Good times and good cheer was had by all. Vivat Jesus, and Merry Christmas!

Music Director Catherine Fishlock was our guest speaker. The topic of her presentation was, Should Music at Mass Be the Music of the Masses? How music influences our actions, our attitudes, and our prayer in the House of the Lord.

Catherine spoke for about 45 minutes before answering questions from the 30 + Knights, family members, and parishioners. All were in agreement that Catherine’s presentation should have been recorded and shared with more people.

This was one of the most successful blood drives to date. Brother Knights and family members donated blood along with parishioners and members of the community.

55 volunteers

48 units collected

144 potential lives saved

Note: The next scheduled blood drive at St. Gertrude is Saturday, June 4, 2022.
