About Our
Council
Immaculate
Heart of Mary Council in Gardnerville, Nevada, has come
a long way since its receiving its charter in January
2001. Brother Al Blythe was our charter Grand Knight
for the first 18 months and right from the start, this
council became actively involved in several programs
and projects. It has been actively recruiting new
members and has become a major contributor to the
operation and maintenance of its home parish, Saint
Gall. It has put on breakfasts, dances, golf
tournaments, and Bingo Nights, and has supported community
projects, helped seminarians, and participated in
various religious activities.
