• Help to develop the individual’s self-confidence, which is a prerequisite for growth.

• Provide for two-way communication.

• Share and reinforce Knight of Columbus values.

• Share effective and efficient techniques.

• Share knowledge and understanding. Share technical expertise. A Knight of Columbus Council 4731 mentor’s attributes must:

SK Andrew Puka passed away April 19, 2015. He had no family members to help me choose where the Chalice would be placed. I was aware that Scott Bliss' Church in Brazil was in need of a gold Chalice. Scott Bliss is a third degree Knight of Co-lumbus webmaster of North Olmsted, Ohio Council 4731. As the Sentinel of the Chalice of the Bishop O'Reilly Assembly, I sent the Chalice pictured below to Scott Bliss to donate to his Parish Church. It is very important that these Chalices of deceased Sir Knights are used in the celebration of the Mass and not sitting on someone's fireplace as a souvenir.

The process of getting the Chalice from North Olmsted to Brazil is a story unto itself. Ray Metsch
