As our parish and broader community begin to re-open, Knights at OLG are looking forward to being a part of this, but remember, the Knights never went away. Throughout the pandemic we never missed monthly meetings, conducting them online; we collected and distributed food and food cards, delivered parish bulletins to the homebound, assisted pregnancy centers and Unwed Mothers in need, held events such as our FREE Ice Cream Social honoring families and Drive Through Santa Breakfast. We conducted our annual scholarship program and Palm Cross Sales and much much more. None of which could be done without parishioner support.
But time is running out to join the Knights of Columbus online for FREE!!! Visit "kofc.org/join us" and use promotion code MCGIVNEY2020 and mention Council 13228 as your council of choice.
Let Fr. McGivney inspire you to help us respond to the needs of today. Don't hesitate to help us make a difference!
