WE NEED YOUR HELP! We are once again going to be selling our breakfast burritos. In order to make enough burritos this time around Greg Sullivan will be leading 2 assembly lines beginning at 6:30am in the parish hall kitchen. We need to have as many as possible to help out! Since we sold out again early last time we are planning on making 20 trays of burritos again on Sunday, 28 Feb! Cooking and burrito assembly begin at 6:30am, setup and sales crews at 9:20 and 11:20. Please reach out to me or to Greg Sullivan to let us know that you will be helping out on Sunday! Brother Greg can be reached at (901) 212-7660 (text him) or email: gpsmemphis@gmail.com. I think we could easily use 10-12 volunteers for that 6:30 shift as well as 4-6 for both of the sales crews!
If you are going to make a purchase of 20 or more burritos, please let us know in advance. As usual, burritos are $4 each or $25 for 7.

We will celebrate our annual Necrology Mass on 2 November, Thursday at 6:00pm.
For our new brothers, this necrology service is a form of a memorial service that respectfully reminds us of the Brother Knights and immediate family members we’ve lost in the Council. During this service we announce the deaths of members who passed away since the last service.
The Council maintains accurate records of council members who have passed, but we want to all make sure we recognize immediate family members we’ve lost in the past three years.
If this applies to you – please reach out to our Chancellor, Ken Perry, at skkenperry@gmail.com and provide him the information.
Please mark this on your calendar. There are few times more important than this Mass to show what our Principle FRATERNITY is all about.
