Super Bowl Party | 2026 Lenten Fish Fry | Mass for Council #3410
Grand Knight’s Message
Brrrrrrrr!!! Spring is right around the corner.
At our December monthly council meeting, we had an exemplification ceremony for new members. I’d like to welcome three new members and their families to the South Akron Knights of Columbus: Dan Bradshaw, Thomas Gruic, and Tim Harvey. I’d like to invite these new guys and everyone else in our council to attend our meetings and get involved in our activities. Everybody has something that they can bring to enhance our council.
Thanks to everyone that came out to our annual Euchre Tournament & Chili Cookoff. Thank you to those that took the time to make chili: Larry Whalen, Greg Stoerkel, Cherie Sedlock, Jerry Parridon, Shannon Hull, Carl Hopper, Ross Holden, Dave DeShane, Patty Dort, and Chris Dort. Once again Jerry did a great job running the euchre tournament and Missy with the chili cookoff. We raised enough money to purchase four wheelchairs through the Knights of Columbus Wheelchair Mission Project. Way to go Council 3410!
Unfortunately the Free Throw Championship had to be cancelled due to the snow storm. Vince Gross did a great job getting the word out about the event. If the weather had cooperated, I know it would have been a great time.
Football Crazr is officially over for the year. Council #3410 had four winners over the 10 weeks. It was the most tickets we have ever sold. When we find out the amount of funds we raised for our charity accounts it will be revealed in a future newsletter.
It is almost Lenten Fish Fry time. A great way for members and their families to get involved with our council. A meeting for all fish fry volunteers will be held at the hall on Friday, February 13 at 6 p.m.
It is time to pay your dues! Brother knights, wives, and social dues are all now due. Please make an effort to pay them ASAP.
Our monthly meeting is Tuesday, February 2. The rosary starts at 7p.m. and the meeting is immediately afterward.
Be good everyone.
Steve Dort,
Grand Knight

Mass for Council #3410
On April 26, at the 8 a.m. mass at St. Paul Church, there will be a mass said for the intention of the Brother Knights of Council #3410. This was received positively last year, especially as we all entered the church together at the start of mass. I hope all Brother Knights of our council are able to join us.
