The Altar Server Awards of 11-25-07

It was nice of my Home Knights Of Columbus Council, Msgr Sherman #5103 in East Glendale, Queens, to sponsor a Nice Catholic Event, which is a program of the K of C Home Office in New Haven:

It was a nice get-together with the families of the Sacred Heart Parish Altar Servers with presentations & a party, afterwards;

In two years, a total of 68 Altar Servers from Sacred Heart-East Glendale, by Msgr Sherman #5103, have been honored, in both '06 & '07;

The 1st Time Altar Servers were honored by this Council, was on Sunday, 02/22/1998, when after the 10:00AM Mass @ Our Lady Queen Of Martyrs-Forest Hills, when 64 Altar Servers were honored. I was Grand Knight @ the time & Council & 5103 Building Corporation Officers, were @ the Mass. One of those Building Corporation Officers of that time, is the Current Grand Knight. The Ceremony ran from 10:50AM to 11:25AM in that Church. Also, a total of 7 other people were honored, including 3 Servers, who served @ Masses in The Council. One of the 3 Servers, was our Memorial Mass Cantor. She has since graduated from University, as I write this;

A 2nd, abeit abridged Ceremony, was held after the 9:30AM Mass, on Sunday, 03/01/1998, on the 1st Hospitality Sunday, in the Basement of Sacred Heart Church. 7 Servers were honored. The Deacon in Charge of The Servers, claimed to have been visited by Representatives Of The Supreme Council Department Of Fraternal Services, who swore him to secrecy, never to reveal who they are, if I was to ask any questions. According to that Deacon, who's now a Priest, the Award Certificates are Invalid & he was ordered to destroy them;

I eventually, over 8 Years Time, found Out who the 3 "Reps" were. All 3 are Past Grand Knights. Let's just say that 2 of them belong to an Organization, whose HQ is @ 71 West 23rd Street, by 6th Avenue in Manhattan, noted for keeping people in the dark, wearing rings, with the letter "G" on them. The Knights Of Columbus SWEARS NO ONE To Secrecy;
