Just before Thanksgiving 2000, District Deputy Ron Roth, State Membership Chairman Stan Schroeder, and Former District Deputy Bob Bluhm spoke to Father John about forming a Knights of Columbus Council in the parish. The reply was an enthusiastic YES! The St. Clare of Assisi Council officially applied for its charter on March 31, 2001. Photo shows District Deputy Ron Roth, Grand Knight Bill Van Sciver, and State Deputy Larry Costanzo, after the installation of the charter officers.
Before the Council was a year old, Jim Acker, a charter officer felt that parishioners needed a means to socialize and get acquainted. He started by serving coffee and donuts after Mass each Sunday. Left Photo is Jim (on left) Don Slattery (RIP) and Jim's wife Leona setup and awaiting the crowd after Mass.
Jim later passed the
torch to Brother Bill Harrington. Bill continued the
tradition for the next four years. Middle Photo is
