KNIGHTS DONATE $185.7 MILLION TO CHARITY IN 2018

The K of C has announced that it gave $185.7 million to charity and donated 76.7 million hours of hands-on service in 2018. Contained in the annual fraternal survey, it demonstrates once again that charity is the first principle of the Knights of Columbus.

“Regardless of how or who the Knights serve, it’s the chance to help those who are unable to help themselves and to be of assistance to the sick or disabled that is at the heart of what being a Knight is all about,” said Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson.

The Knights’ charitable giving comes from three sources: direct fundraising, the funds raised by thousands of local Knights councils in their communities and from the Knights’ insurance operations.

Eucharistic Adoration and Prayer

Fr. Ken writes, “tonight, we will have a time of prayer for the church, the victim-survivors of abuse, the sanctification of bishops, priests and all those who work in the church.”

“Feel free to stop in for a few moments of prayer, or stay the whole time.”

“…the Eucharist will be exposed in adoration. We will start with a Bible reading and then continue in silence. We will ask that no one prays aloud as to give everyone the chance to pray as they wish.”

Our Knights of Columbus council is honored to donate prayer books to be used during this important prayer services.
