Fr. Kenneth St. Hilaire,
State Chaplain
August 2017 Last month, I wrote about Ordinary Time, and how the term “ordinary” can be misleading. I concluded by saying that if we really understood what was happening at Sunday Mass on a deeper level and learned how to participate in it more and more fully, we would never think of any time in the Church year as ordinary in the usual sense of the word (plain, unremarkable, etc.).

Patrick Kelley,
State Secretary
August 2017 My Dear Brothers All, Let’s give a huge round of applause to our new State Warden on his handling of his first Summer Leadership meeting… Congratulations Tom…a job well done. The first bill for the year has already being processed and will go out to the Councils very soon. It is mostly for the Liability Insurance that every Council should carry.

Kim Washburn,
State Treasurer
August 2017 Brothers all, Since the slackers are back from the Supreme Convention, maybe we can get some work done around here. Seriously, I have been to the Supreme Convention and it is an eye opener. Something they will never forget. WSS Pat Kelley has been a very patient man working with me in addition to his learning the State Secretary position (in my opinion, the hardest job in the State).

Greg Mahoney,
State Advocate
August 2017 Brother Knights, In my column for July, I focused on each Council’s/Assembly’s responsibility to file an annual informational tax return (IRS Form 990, 990EZ or 990N). Most Councils/Assemblies file Form 990N (e-postcard) on-line. Forms 990N are filed with the IRS only on-line. District Deputies, Grand Knights, Financial Secretaries and Council Advocates should go to the Officers Desk Reference (ODR) on the Supreme Website for details on Tax Filing requirements.

Tom Williams,
State Warden
August 2017 Brothers Knights, I was pleased to see so many of you at the summer leadership meeting in Spokane last month! We had a great turnout and I think that some really good information was presented. Many thanks to all whom attended the meeting and those whom presented materials. This is a great start to the Columbian year and I hope Councils are off to a fast start! District Deputies, if you still need your meal receipts please let me know.

Immediate Past State Deputy
July 2017
My Brothers All, I am opening a new chapter in my life as each of you probably are. Staring at a blank page......somehow looks great! What will I write in this new chapter? What does life and the Knights of Columbus have in store for me? I look forward to this new journey and can't wait until it unfolds!
