The Knights of Columbus provided a delicious St. Patrick’s dinner for 36 Homeless Veterans at the St. Francis House Veteran’s Rehabilitation Center in Little Rock.  Pictured here are Knights Terry Theisen, Bill Nosek, Bob Kulas, Ray Ambrozich, Mike Murphy, and Tom Donnelly manning the serving line as the Vets load up on Irish Stew, Soda Bread, Whipped Butter, and plenty of desserts provided by Knight’s wives and several ladies of the American Legion Auxiliary.

The Patrick J. Sullivan Council 10208 and the Fr. Victor A. Bieberle Assembly 2316 of Hot Springs Village, AR join together quarterly to prepare and serve dinners for up to 50 homeless veterans during each visit.  Knights also host bi-monthly socials with lots of good finger-food eats and treats for these deserving men, women, and sometimes their children.

For over five years quarterly meals have been provided--often for Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or other holidays such as this event.  The Knights gratefully acknowledge the appreciation expressed by the veterans and staff at St. Francis House.  The Knights deepest and heartfelt joy comes from the opportunity to show their thanks for the service and sacrifice of these patriots, in a tangible way, by giving a little back to them in their need.

The council free throw contest was held in the Jessieville Sports Arena, January 25th, 2018. We had 53 participants this year, which was a record for recent years. The coaches for both boys and girls team in Jessieville were instrumental in helping promote the event and get this record turnout.

A Huge Thanks to the Coaches, Walter Free and the Knights that helped with this contest for our Council.  The Knights that assisted at our local contest in Jessieville were Walter Free, Gary Joy, Pat McGannon, Dan Ferguson, Tom Conrad, Steve Schramer, Mike Webster, Bill Ligon, and Bill Lamoreaux.

The district contest was held at Our Lady of Fatima school in Benton, February 10th. The winners from our contest and the district were eligible to advance to the state free throw contest.  Five boys and girls from our council contest did attend the state contest at the Devil Dog Arena in Morrilton, AR, March 31st.  Jayden Meredith, age 10, was the winner at state for his age group.

I would like to take a moment to recognize one great man, and a band of men who ask for no recognition.  On May 9, 2017 Assembly 2316, Hot Springs Village, and the United States of America lost another one of the Greatest Genration.  It is exceedingly rare that any of these men and women are still around to share their wisdom, and their stories, and John Joseph Meehan will be truly missed.  He served in World War II in Germany, England, and France.  He was also a devoted citizen, Sir Knight, and a true American Hero.  Eternal rest grant to him; and let perpetual light shine upon him.

An intrical part of every Sir Knights Mass of the resurrection is the men that make up the Assembly Honor Guard.  The reverence and dignity that these men add to any event is without words.  They are, in so many ways, the face of the Knights of Columbus.  Let us all take a moment and thank these special Sir Knights for their dedication and service.
A very special night at the Desoto Club in Hot Springs Village, as the new Officers for Assembly 2316, for the Fraternal year 2016-2017 were installed. 

In front of fellow Sir Knights and their wives, the new Officers were all sworn in and received the jewels of their office. A delicious meal was provided by Chef Johanna and her staff, and much fellowship and enjoyment was had by all.

Let us keep all of these men in our prayers, that they may faithfully execute the duties of thier office, bring honor to Assembly 2316, and Glory to Christ in everyrhing they do. 
Our Newest Sir Knight!

Let's all congratulate our newest Sir Knight Ed Harrigan.  Here, Ed is pictured receiving his 4th Degree Rosary from Faithful Navigator Michael Kerwin at the April 26 membership meeting.  Ed was exemplified in Jacksonville on April 2, 2016.  He was accompanied by Sir Knights, Sam Justus and Ray Ambrozich.


The annual St. Nicholas Party was held December 4, 2015 in the lower hall. there were 131 people signed up including Sir Knights and wives, widows and guests.  Chef Tom Donnelly and his team put together a wonderful prime rib dinner, with a delicious pumpkin cheescake desert.  The "Village Strings" provided the entertainment with wonderful renditions of instrumental classics.  A toast to St. Nicholas was made using a special Hungarian Liquor.  The evening concluded with a recognition of recent 4th degree Sir Knights, and an appearance by that jolly Ole St Nick himself, bearing gifts for all of the ladies.  Monsignor Malone was also presented with a special award, and the night was finished with a St. Nicholas prayer by Fr Bill.

Indeed a wonderful night of fellowship and celebration of a special Saint. a good time was had by all.
