Greetings Brothers, May this message reach you and your families and find you in good health and happiness. Since becoming a member of the Delaney Council I have met and become friends with some extraordinary people and am blessed to have them in my life. I would like to welcome all our new members to the Delaney family.Take the time to chat and get to know your brothers- especially elder statesmen. They have led fascinating lives outside the Council and are steeped in the history of Delaney. In my short time in the Council I have learned so much from them and continue to learn each and every day. In closing I ask God to bless you and your families and may he continue to bless America. May God Bless you all and may God Bless America. SK Gary Rodetis, Chancellor 2021-2022
May God Bless you all and may God Bless America.

Membership Report Thank you to all who helped at our recent Council Recruitment Drive and C&B Sales at St. James Parish, Deacons Chris and John for speaking at the masses, and Father John for letting us have the event at the parish.
