• On 5 January the Financial Secretary reported that in 2008 the Blessed Sacrament Council received $18500 in gross receipts and gave out $14900 to charities (the remaining amounts were placed in savings or to recoup direct costs for food) - that is an 81% payout.  Our council also estimated that 5800 volunteer hours were performed by Blessed Sacrament Knights.  Additionally the District Deputy awarded PGK Michael Farrell with the Star Council award for an outstanding 2007-08. PGK John Boyd also announced that there was a $1000 donation to the 2009 KOVAR fund – or Knights of Virginia for intellectually disabled.

• In an October 2008 Statement on Financial Service Markets and  the Knights of Columbus, the Supreme Knight  reported that the KoC maintained its AAA status and a liquidity ratio of 246% composed largely of high-quality investment bonds. "As a result, our financial condition remains extremely strong, and you can be certain that you are fully protected by one of the strongest and most reliable insurance programs in the world."
