A few days ago I got a call from a friend of mine who is a priest. During the course of our conversation I mentioned I was writing a column for the State bulletin about Pennies For Heaven, RSVP, and Vocations. Without hesitation he told me how critical the support of the Knights was in him becoming a priest. He is forever grateful to the Order. So think of him and all of the other priests, seminarians and religious when you pass by a Pennies For Heaven barrel. Reach in to your pockets, your wallets and show your appreciation. Then say a prayer for them.

RSVP refund forms are due June 30, the end of the fraternal year. Every years many councils scramble to fill out and send in the forms. The RSVP refund form requires copies of cancelled checks or copies of Thank You cards listing the amount donated. This means you can not wait until June 15th to send the checks to the seminarians you are supporting and expect to get the cancelled checks back in time to meet the deadline.
|
|
So Don’t Wait! Send the support checks to your seminarians now. If you do not know who to support, contact me and I will provide you with the name and contact information of a seminarian most in need of support. Do not contact the diocese. They do not keep up-to-date records concerning the Knights. There are still several seminarians in need of additional support.
|
|
In addition to financial support, let us not forget our commitment to spiritual support for seminarians. They need our cards, letters, and prayers. Invite your seminarians your council supports to your council meetings and other council events.

|
Is your council supporting one or more seminarian? Send those checks now. Can you support one more seminarian? Contact me. Don’t Wait!

Vivat Jesus!

Chairman for Vocations/PFH/RSVP
