Council 14130 from Christ the King parish recently gave $2,500 to Emma Bachman-Johnson to help cover costs for becoming a nun. Supporting vocations is an important part of our mission as Knights, and this is an excellent example of fulfilling that mission. Thank you to Council 14130, and best wishes to Emma!
