Angel tree program through Sts Peter and Paul Catholic Church, Sts Peter and Paul Thrift store, Joy Closet, which manages foster kids/families, and Sanctuary Inc, which is a domestic violence shelter.
Council 7847 in Hopkinsville had a very busy Sunday, December 15th. First, we hosted a Breakfast with Santa for members of Sts Peter and Paul Catholic church, which saw approximately 50 kids and their parents partake in the breakfast as well as getting their picture taken with Santa.
Later that evening we had our annual Christmas party that included several brother knight’s and their spouses, and also included a couple of widows of brother knight’s. We enjoyed a social hour, dinner, and finished the evening with a dirty Santa gift exchange.
Bishop Flaget Assembly #307 hosts inaugural event celebrating local veterans
Bishop Flaget Assembly #307 of Northern Kentucky held their first annual Veterans Appreciation Social on November 9th at Fr. Bealer Council hall. The event brought together veterans and family members from Northern Kentucky Knights of Columbus councils, creating a memorable evening of recognition and fellowship.
The social featured three distinguished speakers, including keynote speaker Retired U.S. Army Colonel Paul Kremer of Council 15211. Veterans were invited to share memorabilia from their military service, resulting in an impressive display of military history and personal stories.
Through generous donations and split-the-pot raffle ticket sales, funds were raised to benefit the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA. The donation will be presented on behalf of Bishop Flaget Assembly.
The event served a dual purpose:
“This event represents our commitment to recognizing the service of our veterans and strengthening our patriotic values within the Knights of Columbus community,” noted Dustin Reed, Faithful Navigator.
