Charitable and Fraternal Activities
We established and support an endowment scholarship fund that provides at least $1,000 each year to one needy boy and girl in the Diocese going to any Catholic High School. The Knights provide funding for this program from our charitable activities. The scholarship is administered entirely by the Diocese.
Our RSVP Program provides a $100 monthly stipend to a deserving seminarian.
The “Pennies for Heaven” donations provide an additional $200/year in support of vocations.
Our council supports evangelization efforts, including the weekly TV Mass and “Keep Christ in Christmas” bulletin boards.
Our “Measure Up” campaign raises $1500 annually to help the mentally retarded of the community.
Over the past ten years, we have donated over $70,000 from the fish frys to our parish.
We offer members and their families camaraderie through many activities, including annual picnics, Christmas parties and other events.
