Vol. 1, 2024 - 2025

Once again, Council 6358 (Good Shepherd, Schertz) played an instrumental role in the community’s annual Independence Day celebrations. In addition to providing a float and a contingent of Knights on Bikes in the parade, Mikulski Hall (owned and operated by the Good Shepherd Columbus Club) served as the prime viewing spot along the parade route. Enthusiastic Brothers and their families, as well as members of the community, gathered at Mikulski Hall to enjoy the parade with free refreshments and, most importantly, shade. After the parade, more than 250 people gathered inside Mikulski Hall to partake in the Council’s annual 4^th of July free cookout for all members of the community. Participants expressed their amazement and appreciation for the Council’s gesture of hospitality
