A Knight before CHRISTmas
I encourage all my Brother Knights to offer the gift of Knighthood this upcoming CHRISTmas Season. This may be the best gift you can give! Give him the gift that strengthens his Faith, grows his engagement in Charity, provides the Unity of men serving their Church, family and community, and Fraternally linking him and his family to the largest Catholic lay organization in the world.
Offer this gift of membership to your family, friends and work colleagues during this CHRISTmas Season. Your gift to him could truly change his life and it is FREE! Just direct him to kofc.org/joinus promo code MCGIVNEY2020 along with their interest in joining Council 3956 and your membership number (found on your membership card) and he will be a Knight before CHRISTmas.
2021 Dues Notices are in St. Pius X Church Ushers Room
Brother Knights:
As stated in last Wednesday’s Business Meeting, I placed the Dues Notices (for Regular and Honorary members) and membership cards (for Honorary Life members) in alphabetical order in the Ushers Room at St. Pius X Church.
Please stop by and pick up yours (and any Brother Knights you might live near) so the Council can save on postage.
On December 15th, the remaining envelopes will be placed in the mail.
Reminder that we are also collecting funds for the State Council’s Take 10 for Charity Program (suggested amount $10) and the Sacred Heart Major Seminary Endowed Scholarship Fund (suggested amount $6). These are voluntary requests.
Besides mailing in your dues/donations, you can also make your payment by credit card (for a $2.00 convenience fee) by heading to https://www.kofc3956.org/pay-dues/
If you have any questions, please free to contact me at raybilyk@kofc3956.org .
Have a Merry CHRISTmas!

LAST CALL!!! K OF C RARE OPPORTUNITY! 2nd and 3rd Degree Exemplifications available THIS SATURDAY in Taylor, Michigan
Brother Knights of the 1st and 2nd Degree,
This message is especially for our 1st and 2nd Degree members. Did you know that you are not a full Knight? Would you like to be?
We have a VERY RARE OPPORTUNITY for 1st Degree members to advance in the degrees of our Order by attending a 2nd and 3rd Degree ceremony (commonly referred to together as a Major Degree). This exemplification will teach you more about our Order and will teach you more about your Catholic Faith… I promise!
This event is happening IN OUR DISTRICT/AREA at All Saints Council 4872 (24900 Brest Rd near Telegraph in Taylor https://goo.gl/maps/ywLtqeri7R72 ) THIS SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30th. This doesn’t happen often, so it’s a great time to become a 3rd Degree Knight.
Schedule of events:
Doors open at 8:00AM with coffee donuts and registration
1st Degree begins at 9:30AM
2nd and 3rd Degree begins at 11:00AM
Light Luncheon follows immediately afterwards (around 1:30PM)
(If you attend the 1st Degree Exemplification again, it gives you a chance to ‘review’, or you can recruit someone to join that day, and you will BOTH become 3rd Degree members by the end!)
Since this is in our district/area, I want to make a good showing from our Council. If you can attend this event, please contact Deputy Grand Knight Dave Sajdak by email at membership@kofc3956.org or by calling him at 313-415-6023. We need to know IMMEDIATELY so that we can reserve a spot (and food) for you.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I really hope to see you this Saturday and welcome you as a FULL Knight of Columbus!
Fraternally,
Ray Bilyk, Grand Knight
