After a tenuous start to our Christmas tree lot in having to get a new trailer in place, we had in the end another successful year. I would like to extend a thank you to everyone that assisted in any way in setting up, taking down, or working at the lot. It is only with your help that we can achieve our annual goals in this project.
I would like to especially thank Chris Steiner for heading up our tree sales this year.
In the past several years, we have put on a Valentine’s Day dinner and auction for the council, and the parish at large. We use this event to raise money for the RSVP program, and present the funds earned to the Seminarians of our parish and Diocese.
We to date have no events planned for the Valentine’s celebrations, nor any Knight(s) or couples that have stepped forward to chair this event for the year. If you would like to assist in these efforts this year, please contact Steve Fritz at 701-388-0539.
The information below details the make up of our council with regards to the number of Knights, and the break out of the age make up. This information was shared at our recent Christmas stag.

It is with great pleasure that we announce Mike Langseth as our Knight of the Year, and Brad Sebestal and his boys Logan and Hunter as our family of the year. We can be very proud in having Knights like Mike and Brad in our council to share their spirit, talents and time with our parish and community at large. In selecting Mike and Brad, we have chosen excellent examples for all of us to follow.
