Memorial Day - Holy Cross Cemetary

A Solemn Remembrance

Remembering those who ransomed our freedom with their lives, the Knights of Columbus participated in Memorial Day services at our Arizona Catholic cemeteries on Monday, May 26, 2014. In particular, our Fourth Degree turned out in regalia to honor our fallen men and women of the armed forces and to acknowledge the great sacrifice that they made.  The accompanying photos happen to be taken at a Memorial Mass at Holy Cross Cemetery in Avondale but is typical of the callout responses across the State.  Thanks to Brother Anthony Abramo of Council #7306 for taking the accompanying photos.

Helping Vets - Tucson

The Father Henry Miller Assembly #2308 Sir Knights along with their Families and friends in Tucson are in line to create their own 'Breakfast-omelet-in-a-baggie.'  You could add; diced ham, onions, cheese, and peppers to make your own omelet. After the 'baggie' contents were cooked in a pot of boiling water, you could make into a burrito using freshly made tortillas!

Then in a symbolic gesture of our Assemblies support for our Troops, we had breakfast for dinner at about the same time our troops were eating breakfast overseas!

This fundraiser was combined with others, which allowed the Father Henry Miller Assembly #2308 to present a check for $1,500.00 to the Veterans Administration Volunteer Services (VAVS) in Tucson.
