I want to thank everyone who helped in making this years Wednesday’s Child Christmas Program a tremendous success again this year. This was the 22nd year of the annual event. Thanks, to all the Knights of Columbus councils across the state who donated time, money or both to making Christmas for so many children so much better. Brother Knight Clyde Hayes started the Wednesday’s Child Christmas Program 22 years ago so these kids could have what they wanted for Christmas, and he worked tirelessly towards that goal. Clyde was taken from us in 2018 but his legacy is still going strong thanks to individuals like yourself. We had the annual Christmas Pizza Party December 4th at the Main Event for the kids where the kids enjoyed all the games, all the pizza they wanted and of course Santa passing out the presents. Again, Thank You for all your support. We presented a check at the Wednesday’s Child Telethon on WLKY-TV December 9th in the amount of $12,500.00.

Veterans Appreciation Social Honors Service Members in Northern Kentucky

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.

Event Highlights

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.

Purpose and Vision

The event served a dual purpose:

Honoring local veterans for their service and sacrifice
Promoting awareness of the patriotic degree within the Knights of Columbus

“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.
