Pancake Breakfast to benefit the Sisters of Notre Dame
On Sunday, February 21, 2016, Fr. Kehoe Council #1764 Knights of Columbus in
Ludlow hosted its 20th Annual Pancake Breakfast to benefit the Sisters of
Notre Dame Mission in Uganda. The Motherhouse for the United States Sisters
of Notre Dame is in Park Hills. It was held at their Notre Dame Academy
High School Cafeteria.
The event when it started out benefitted both the Catholic Inner-City
Schools in Covington and the Sister’s Mission in Uganda. It now benefits
the Sister ever-growing Mission in Africa. Sister Mary Margaret, the
Coordinator for the nuns said “The Knights are always so friendly. They
wear a smile and enjoy working together. Not only are the Knights
committed, guests attend the pancake breakfast year after year to help the
Knights support the Sister’s worthy mission. They are fun to work with”.
Grand Knight Fred Porciello said “This is what the Knights of Columbus are
all about – charity. When we can help the Sisters, we feel good about what
we do. The Sisters are always grateful and thank us over and over.
This year was the best pancake breakfast in the 20 years of the event.
There were 535 breakfasts served and the profit for the Mission was over
$3,700.
