On Thursday, August 4, our Council will host a SEMINARIAN EVENING.  In attendance will be about 30 Seminarians along with Monsignor Scott Friend, Director of Vocations for the Diocese of Little Rock, and perhaps two or three additional priests. 

The format will be similar to our regular first Tuesday of each month meetings with the following two exceptions: 1) wives of brother knights are invited as many have asked to meet the seminarians; and 2) dinner will be a cookout by our kitchen staff with a menu of hamburgers, Polish dogs, beans, cole slaw, and Father Bill's ice cream. 

The evening will begin at 5:00 with the rosary. The dinner charge is $7.00 per person for knights and their spouses. The refreshment bar will be open like normal meetings.

Knights attending should advise Art Morissette as is done for regular monthly meetings, but they must include their wives, if they are attending. 

Monsignor Friend will give an overview of a man's journey toward the priesthood.  He will tell about the importance of discernment and announce plans for the diocese's Home of Discernment, which will be located in Little Rock.  Monsignor will also share the process of selecting the seminary the men will attend and their studies.

Having all of the seminarians as our guests is an honor, so we encourage you to attend and to spend some time getting acquainted with our guests. They are looking forward to this evening. 

This evening is also our Recruitment Kick-off Event.  Recruitment teams have been given their assignments and recruitment prospects. We expect to have in attendance a considerable number of parish members who are not knights, along with their wives.

Monsignor Friend, like Father Bill, is more than supportive of the Knights of Columbus, as both consistently offer their support for recruitment.

Knights are encouraged to check August 4 for attendance at what may be a most memorable evening.
