July 2000 to June 2001The Council installed Edmund F. Parma, as it's 20th Grand Knight on July 14 2000. Our themes for the year are Youth Activities and Defense of our Church and Faith. We continue with our tradition of service to church, community, youth and family, as well as an emphasis on council spirituality as initiated by PGK Bill Dorney in 1999-2000. We also continue to grow with many new members, bringing new talent and energy to the council. Our annual Pancake Breakfast has grown into a "Community Breakfast"; this year featuring made to order omelets, our Past Grand Knight's roast has grown into a major stage production! The council's annual Children's Essay Contest grows also with over 140 entrees this year. Our fundraising efforts expand as well, with a very successful Crystal Millennium Angel candleholder sale. The Parish Community celebrated the last season of RENEW with a closing mass. Our parish building campaign gains necessary approvals for our new church as we grow nearer to groundbreaking. Our council and parish were also saddened this year by the loss of 3 of our charter members, Msgr. James McManimon, Donald Schiariti and George Young.
