And A Good Time Was Had By All…

 

50 years of service to the Catholic Church in Tulsa was celebrated at the 4721 Council Hall on Saturday night. Along with memories and a celebration of what has passed since the 1959 founding of our council, a fantastic dinner was served and music was provided for the celebration.

Norbert Sorries reminded the gathered guests of some of the challenges of the council before settling in to the ‘new’ home in North Tulsa. Memories was shared by Leroy Weisman with a history of the council (which will be reposted on the web site when he has completed his comprehensive history). Memories of our past Grand Knights, old friends, and new friends were shared as the night progressed.

We remembered names and stories of Al Sorries (who is half of the only father/son to be Grand Knights – Mike and Al), Ed Terrel, Jim Highland, Bob Rauner, and Zarski and Zeller. I guess we had KofC from A to Z!

Vivat Jesus!

During these 50 years, we have helped to form the Center for Family Love, supported Pro Life, held horseshoe tournaments, supported our Catholic Schools and Oklahoma’s only Catholic University, St. Gregory’s in Shawnee. We have been involved in all of the Tulsa Bishop’s Installations, from Ganter to Slattery.

And a good time was had by all….
