Demo/Grill Event for the Sisters of the Holy Family of the Nazereth
On Saturday November 19 we will be participating in an event to help out the Sisters of hte Holy Family of the Nazereth convent in Grand Prarie. The event will consist of one group at the convent clearing trees and hauling them back into the property. The second group will be preparing lunch at the council hall and will transit that over to the convent for lunch.
The outdoor work at the convent will start around 8:30 and run till noon. Please be sure to wear gloves, work boots, and bring any power tools that cut if you have them. If its anything like last year, this is extremely rewarding. Directions to the facility can be found here: http://binged.it/vXEjl1
The second group will be meeting mid morning at the council hall to prepare food for the group. Around noon the group will be bringing the food out to the kitchen at the convent for lunch, which will formally be the conclustion of the event. I would expect to head out around 1.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via email at ryan.r.collier@gmail.com or on my cell 214.226.4423.

Any Knight who completes at least 4 hours of nighttime prayer during the campaign will qualify for recognition in the Order of the Hours. As I mentioned in my letter earlier this month, the Order of the Hours is a new program developed by your Brother Knight (and 40 Days for Life-Dallas Event Coordinator) Reg Plattto recognize your unwavering commitment to advancing a Culture of Life. Knights who offer up 24 hours of prayer, complete 4 hours of nighttime vigil, or agree to be “on standby” to cover open hours will receive one of three designations to recognize their commitment. The Order of the Hours is enthusiastically endorsed by Dallas Diocesan Deputy Roger Scott and State Pro-Life Chairman Tom Clark, who urge all local Knights and Knights Councils to participate. You can find more information about the Order here or by contacting Reg Platt at reg@plattstuff.com or 214-392-4098.
Finally, I hope to see you at the Kickoff Rally next Tuesday, September 27, at 6:30 p.m., at Harry S. Moss Park, 8000 Greenville Ave., Dallas, featuring the powerful testimony of former Planned Parenthood manager Ramona Trevino!
