During August and September, the Dowling Assembly 4th Degree Knights of Columbus members are hosting a flag sale and retirement service. A new 3x5 American Flag - American made with quality embroidered stars and sewn stripes costs $50.00. When your new flag is delivered, we will retrieve any old, tattered, faded United States flags so that they can be properly retired. Flag retirement will be under the supervision of the American Legion and according to the U.S. Flag code. Flag sale proceeds will help fund sending a qualified US Veteran to Lourdes as a part of the international military pilgrimage "Warriors to Lourdes". Order forms are located on the church entry bulletin boards. Orders need to be received by October 1st. Turn in your order form or if you have any questions, contact STM member Pat O'Keefe, [email protected]/515-490-6052 or Tom Stork, [email protected]/515-556-2104.
