HELPING HOMELESS FAMILIES
The KodC Family Bowling League contributes each year to the MacLellan Shelter for Families, so they can provide a safe & clean home for
those families who are unfortunate & have no home. By joining the KofC Family Bowling league this fall, YOU can make a difference. The
league is not just a league for members of Knights of Columbus. It is open to all who would like to have fun bowling with others from area churches
in the Chattanooga/Hixson/Soddy Daisy/Signal Mountain/Ft. Oglethorpe area & at the same time, helping homeless families in Chattanooga.
Fall league dates: Sunday, Sept. 8—Sunday, Nov. 10 Cost is $12/bowler for 3 games/bowler each Sunday (shoe rental not included) We bowl at

heart! To sign up, send the following in an email to league coordinator, John Sopko at ohkeemosabe@yahoo.com by Sunday, Aug. 25.

St. Vincent de Paul Conference
Do you know that the Chattanooga area has a St Vincent de Paul
Conference? Do you know what the St. Vincent de Paul Conference is
all about? There are many poor and needy families and individuals in
our community that fly below the radar, and our St. Vincent de Paul
Conference needs your help in helping them. The need is great, and
growing, and beyond our present resources. Do you have just a couple
of hours during the month, where you could help those lacking the
necessities of life? Could you visit the needy, help feed the hungry,
assist with paying utility bills, give courage and hope to those down on
their luck? Vincentians are Christians who thank God for their many
personal blessings and try to grow in their faith by practicing the
spiritual and corporal works of mercy. Our local St Vincent de Paul
Conference meets each 1st and 3rd Monday of each month at 6:00
p.m., in Holy Family Hall at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic
Church. Please come and check us out and see what we are all
about. We need your help! Remember the words Jesus said to his
Disciples " Come and See" Deacon Dennis Meinert—OLPH
