The Family of Man Council #7566 will host a Memorial Mass on Tuesday, November 5 at 7 pm in the de Sales Chapel. The Mass will be celebrated to honor and remember all Knights of our Council who have died. All Knights, family members of these deceased Brothers, and friends are invited to attend this Memorial Mass.

Wednesday, October 16th, marked the last Honor Flight Chicago mission to Washington DC for 2019. This flight brought 101 Veterans (16 WWII, 24 Korean War and 61 Vietnam War) to visit their Memorials and recognize their sacrifices. The pouring rain cause several adjustments to be made to their itinerary but did not dampen their enthusiasm. While the welcome at Dulles Airport was spectacular, the weather resulted in smaller than usual crowds offering their heart-felt gratitude at the various sites.

A special shout out to PGK and WTs Bob Balog and Chris Gallagher for quarterbacking the effort. Brother John Geraerdts for running the kitchen, Brother Tom Zorn who helped with the shopping, BrotherJoe Gibbons for the license, Worthy Advocate Louis Wise, Bob Andres for their crucial help in the kitchen and bar. I know I am leaving out so many but I appreciate everything from everyone.

Thank you to all the Brothers that made the SJN parish Octoberfest celebration another fun-filled success. To many people to name but hopefully you will find yourselves in some of these pictures.

Congratulations to the FY award winners:

Young Man of the Year - Andrew Eberly
Young Woman of the Year- Marin George
Family of the Year - the Wayne Weeks Family
Knight of the Year - Brother Mike Poland

Congratulations to all and thank you for all that you did for the Family of Man Council during the last Fraternal Year! God Bless!
