As part of our agreement with Renaud Council and in return for the use of the hall for our meetings, the Assembly helps with the Lenten Fish Fries. The Fish Fry runs from 5pm to 7pm.

Fish Fry's run through Good Friday, April 18, 2025. Please show up for cleanup at 6:45pm and we run until about 8:00pm. We need three to four people each night.

Many hands make light work, and this is pretty easy!

On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, September 4, 5, 6 and 7, 2025, Sir Knights of our Assembly will be hosting charity poker at Krazy Kopz Poker Room (Vision Lanes), 38250 Ford Rd, Westland, MI 48185 (click here for map). This fundraiser will help us continue to do the good work we do and with our expanded charitable giving.

We need a chairperson and 2 people for most shifts. During the evening, we need an additional 2 people from 6:00pm to 7:30pm. SK John MacLean, PFN, is leading this effort. Shifts are available as follows:

• Thursday and Friday, September 4 and 5: 6:00pm to 10:00pm, 10:00pm to 2:00am and a 90 minute shift from 6:00pm to 7:30pm
• Saturday and Sunday, September 6 and 7: 10:00am to 2:00pm and 2:00pm to 6:00pm

Note that there are three jobs available: Chairperson, Worker and Extra Worker. If you are new to this, sign up as a Extra Worker. You will find this is easy work. The shift is only 90 minutes and is for those that are interested but unsure. If you have experience in this, please sign up as a Chairperson if you can, or a Worker if that is the only position available on the day and time you can work. Also, at this point, please only sign up for a couple shifts as we would like to give new people the opportunity to get involved (which is always great!).

Our bylaws indicate we should have a Welfare Committee staffed and active. I have proposed that the Faithful Pilot lead this committee. Even so, others, other than me, are needed to help. If you are interested, please click here to email FN Ed Hurst at eahurstjr@gmail.com.

Courtesy of Sir Knight Bob Rugenski:The St.Patrick Senior Center can use our help. Here is the situation: Every week the receives about thirty gallons of delicious ice cream (five buckets about six gallons each). They always need to free up space in their freezer!

Here is how we can help: She asks only five dollars donation per bucket and you can choose any flavor that they have.

At St. John Neumann the ice cream is served at Youth group functions, hospitality weekends, Halloween Dance, Vacation Bible School, visitors to the pantry and etc.

It benefits the Senior Center and our parish saves money too. It's a Win - Win situation. Spread the Word please, help the seniors.
