Council 14130 provides assistance to an aspiring nun!
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!
Here Emma is pictured with Grand Knight Chris Luketich.

Council 10682 place an ultrasound machine
Brothers from council 10682, St. Louis Bertrand, purchased an ultrasound machine for the Little Way Pregnancy Resource Center on Oak Street in Old Louisville. Their parish, St Louis Bertrand, has long been a supporter of The Little Way and all they do. Ellen Wickman is their Executive Director and does an great job with her 20 volunteers.
This sonogram machine is amazing. It is a GE Sonogram machine and is the latest in that technology. It will let an expectant mother see her baby 5 weeks after conception. It has already saved a number of babies. They raised $16,500 which was matched by Supreme (through the Ultrasound Initiative) to make the $33,000 purchase.
There was an open house on June 26 at The Little Way with a number of their board members and Knights present. Father Frank Ralph brought God’s blessing to the machine.
