June 30, 2009 2009 Knights of Columbas Graduation Party The Knights of Columbus 11th Annual Graduation Party took place Friday, June 26, 2009, at St. Peter’s Hall. Hundreds of guests attended this joyful event while enjoying dinner and music. Mar Sarhad Yawsip Jammo wrote a very inspiring letter in the graduate yearbook congratulating the graduates for their achievements and success: “your graduation is a time to reflect upon who you are as an individual, but this really means to reflect upon how you can turn to others and share your gifts with them- first in your own home, then with your Chaldean community, and finally with the entire world.” At the event, he offered his prayers and blessings to the graduates as they begin a new phase in their life. He also congratulated the families of the graduates and thanked them for their support and encouragement, explaining that the accomplishments and diplomas of their children in some way is theirs too, and they should be proud of that. Before dinner, Mar Bawai Soro congratulated the graduates and their families, and offered a blessing prayer. Thomas Meram, Knights of Columbus (Mar Toma Council) Grand Knight, had an opening statement in the 2009 yearbook saying, “As you move on into a new chapter in your life, know that God has a plan for all of us. Be thankful for all the blessings God has given you, and the love and support that you receive from your family, friends, and community. With God’s grace, you can achieve great things”. The book was prepared and designed by the Knights of Columbus Youth Committee and was printed at the Chaldean Media Center. Many graduates had the chance to apply for scholarships in four different categories. Scholarship grants were all donated by many generous sponsors, individuals and organizations from our community. God bless them.
