Original Bishop Mulloy Council Hall

New 4D ultrasound machine for the Rose Garden Mission
When the Rose Garden’s ultrasound machine broke, it was a big setback for their efforts to encourage mothers and fathers to keep their babies and not abort them. When the State Knights of Columbus Culture of Life Chairman Eric Ritchie heard of this he went right to work on purchasing a new machine. He raised $47,948 of which half came from Supreme Council of the Knights of Columbus. Mary Queen of Heaven Knights of Columbus in Erlanger took the lead in the fundraising. Bishop Mulloy Council, Bishop Ackerman Council, St. Timothy Council, and Bishop Flaget Assembly also contributed funds, as did the Diocese of Covington Pro-Life Office, and dozens of individuals, including the Bishop.
The new machine is a 2018 4D model which can record the entire session on DVD or send the baby’s picture directly to the mother’s phone. The old machine was from the 1980’s.
This is the 5th Ultrasound machine the local Knights have purchased for a pregnancy center in NKY, and the fourth project that Eric has personally run. Everyone has brand new machines now! Even though Eric has done four of these, he is always amazed each time at how quickly it comes together.

Christ the King Council 16232 Annual Turkey Fry
One of the greatest joys of being a Knight is the feeling of brotherhood with those in your council as well as with Knights around the world. This is never more apparent than when Council 16232 gets together for their annual turkey fry on Thanksgiving morning. The cool brisk air at 5am definitely wakes us up as we prepare the fry pots for the Thanksgiving centerpiece for those families that allow us to prepare their turkeys for them. This year we cooked 23 turkeys, 1 ham, and 1 goose and even fried a Boston butt (we will fry anything in the south). Of course, the first turkey to come out is the sample turkey for all in attendance, and it was delicious, as usual. Twelve brothers showed up to help and enjoy fellowship with each other to start the holiday and we were able to raise over $350 which will be used to purchase and fill stockings for each of the children on the Angel Trees at Christ the King Church in Scottsville and St. Mary’s Church in Franklin.
