Knights of Columbus & Altar Society

Sonya is being installed as an officer of our parish Altar Society today. She is the Recording Secretary. One of the ladies told me they love having her their, that she 'brought new blood to all us old folks' or something like that. I think they were afraid they would scare her off in the beginning, but she likes it and enjoys serving with them. She is in the sub-group called St. Anne's Circle. They are in charge of sewing and acquiring altar linens and vestments.

Last night I was inducted into the Knights of Columbus as a 1st degree Knight. It was an educational and spiritual ceremony. I am looking forward to doing service with the Knights. The ceremony was held at a neighboring council, but there were a few people from my council there, including the Deputy Grand Knight. One of the other candidates there is from my parish, and I knew him from a retreat I went on recently, so there were some familiar faces there.
