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.
