Lenten 50/50 Raffle

We will be selling 50/50 raffle tickets during Lent and during the Fish Fries. Drawing will be held at the final Fish Fry on Friday, April 10, 2020 at around 7pm. Need not be present to win. Tickets are $5 and proceeds are going toward the Delphos Knights of Columbus charities. We are asking all the active Knights to help out and sell some tickets. We will be advertising that tickets can be purchased at the hall on Thursday evenings and during the Fish Fries at the door. (More details forth coming on our website.) Please help out by selling tickets to your family, friends & co-workers.

Getting the Most as a Knight

In order to get the most from your Knights of Columbus membership, we encourage you to consider advancing and becoming a fourth degree. The first degree teaches us the importance of charity. The Second and Third Degrees expand on this with lessons of unity and fraternity. Once you reach Third Degree you are given full honors of Knighthood and are officially "Knighted". And finally, the Fourth Degree imparts upon us a lesson on the virtues of patriotism. Now, more than ever, we need patriots like you in our community.

Sign up a new member and Nate Ankerman will see that they gets info on becoming a 1st degree. There will be a 2nd and 3rd degree exemplification (or degree ceremony) at Ottawa on Sunday, March 1st. As of now, there will be at least 4 members going from Delphos, and are planning to car pool Meet at the Delphos K of C hall around 8:45am. There will be a fourth degree exemplification in Toledo sometime in mid April. More information on this is coming soon. Please consider this your chance to take the next step in this great organization. Also we ask that you ask your Catholic friends, family and neighbors to consider membership. Contact us at KofCDelphos@gmail.com or Lou Hohman at 419-203-0878 or Nate Ankerman at 419-234-6566.

Our Sympathy

Our sympathy goes out to the family of Daniel Grubenhoff who passed away January 25th in Denton Texas. His obituary states that Dan was a 1970 graduate of Delphos St. John's High School and a member of the Knights of Columbus and is the older brother of our fellow Knight Michael Grubenhoff.

Eternal rest, grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

K of C Monthly Meetings

The regular monthly meetings of the Delphos K of C are held on the 2nd Monday of each month. The business meeting begins at 8:00 PM, and usually con­cludes around 9:00pm.

Refreshments are provid­ed to those in attend­ance. When was the last time that you attended a K of C meeting? We need to hear what chang­es members would like to see happen.

Why not come to a meet­ing and let others know how you feel we could improve what we do or how we do it. Will you get “roped” into working? Nobody will twist your arm.

In order for your K of C Council to continue to do the good things we do, volunteers are needed. We need more members to step up and help out. Everyone is busy but we all find time to do the things that are important to us. Hopefully the Del­phos K of C is important to you too.

Help is needed at the Delphos K of C. We have several Officer posi­tions that need filled and need help running pro­jects. It doesn’t have to be year around or time consuming. Possibly one evening a month or less. For more information, contact me, Bernie Fiedler at (419)605-2345, come to the hall any Thursday evening, better yet, come to a regular monthly meeting that usu­ally lasts about an hour, starting at 8:00 PM, on the Second Monday of each month. Your help will make a difference.

Hall for Rent

Do you have a wedding to plan, or a graduation party, Christmas party, rehearsal dinner, or an event of any kind? Why not consider the K of C Hall for your special event? Our hall can accommodate small, medium, or large groups of people. You can rent the front part of the hall for gatherings of up to 100 people, or the entire hall for large groups. If you rent the front part for smaller gatherings, you can get the food from us, carry it in, or get your own caterer. Because of our liquor license, it is illegal for anyone to carry alcoholic beverages of any kind into the hall, so we cannot allow that to happen. However, we have custom catering, full bar services, a bright, clean, user friendly, handicap accessible facility. It can be decorated to satisfy the most exquisite tastes, or used "as is' for a worry free event. If you have questions, please contact Tom Eilerman at 419-692-0701, or Mike Grubenhoff at 419-615-2445. They will be glad to answer any questions or set up an appointment to talk about your plans.
