Fire Relief Fund for Our Lady
of Wisdom Church in Las Vegas
State Deputy Wayne Bieniasz has announced
today (6/21/06,) that the Nevada State Council
is establishing a Fire Relief Fund
by Brother Knights and their Families for Our
Lady of Wisdom Church in Las
Vegas. The Relief Fund will be
generated from Brother Knights, their Families, Councils
and Assemblies in Nevada. Then distributed by the
Nevada State Council as a corporate body to Our Lady of
Wisdom Church. Receipts will be issued by the State
Council for any donation forwarded to them.
Over the weekend there was a fire at Our Lady of Wisdom
Church causing considerable damage to the interior of the
Church. The Fire Department was able to put out the
fire and hold the damage to the interior.
Needless to say many of the Icon’s were damaged
including Fathers Vestments, the kitchen area and the
office. State Deputy Bieniasz was at the Church
with Father and the only area not to receive
any fire damage was the Altar/Sanctuary where the
Eucharistic was on the Altar. This should serve as
a strong sign of Our Lords Present on the Altar.
Father Vivona is our State Chaplin
and he now needs our help as Knights of Columbus to
repair the damage to his Church as insurance will not
cover all the expenses. Father will also need our
help with Manpower when a plan is formulated to remove
the damage items in the Church.
HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
Councils,
Assembles, and Individual Donors should make
their checks payable to:
Knights of Columbus Nevada State Council.
(indicate Our Lady of Wisdom Fire Relief) and send them
to:
Paul
Dendary, State Secretary
Nevada State Council
2419 Balgavies Court
Henderson, NV 89044-8764
Our Worthy
State Secretary will issue a receipt for each donation
for tax purposes. The donations will be forwarded to Our
Lady of Wisdom Church. In this way, our State
Council will better understand the level of donations
from the Councils, Assembles, and Individual Donors in
our Nevada jurisdiction. Thank you for your generosity
and prayers.
