The passing of Robert Crandall Sr., father of Brother Knight Steven Crandall

I regret to inform you that Robert Crandall Sr., father of Brother Knight Steven Crandall passed away on Saturday, June 3, 2017. He was 88 years old. Beloved husband of Sharon Crandall. Loving father of Cheryl (Terry) Edwards, Steve (Jackie) Crandall, Lisa (Chris) Grasso and Robert Crandall Jr. Dearest brother of James (Jean) Crandall, the late Doris Swan and the late Ann Marie LeBlanc. Also survived by 12 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.

There will be a Parish rosary for him on Tuesday, June 6th at 6:30PM at the Thon Center (Thon Funeral Home), 2760 Biddle Ave in Wyandotte. This is NOT a Council rosary, but many of you know Robert and Brother Knight Steven, so I wanted to pass this along.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
and may the perpetual light shine upon him!
May he rest in peace. Amen.

On Sunday, November 13, 2016, Council 3956 will once again hit the grills and ovens to make a delicious FAMILY BREAKFAST. This month’s recipients are St. Vincent dePaul and the Downriver Food Pantry. Both of these charities need help to feed our Downriver families during this holiday season.

Come by after Mass to the St. Pius Social Hall and join us for eggs, pancakes, sausage, fruit, juice, coffee and/or tea. It’s a free-will donation, so bring the whole family. Even if you can’t afford to pay anything, stop on by… we have you covered!

We will also have tickets for sale for our 4th Annual CHRISTmas Concert featuring the Michigan Catholic Choir for only $10 each!
