Knights of Columbus

Our Knights of Columbus sponsored a Pancake Breakfast after all Masses on September 18th. Many parishioners enjoyed a delicious meal and fellowship. New Knights Matt Barrett and Jon Neef joined in the prepping, cooking, serving, and clean-up. Princess Mediterranean Grill and an anonymous donor covered the cost of supplies which allowed all proceeds ($2510.26) to benefit Ukrainian families in Poland.

To learn more about the work being done in the Archdiocese of Przemysl, visit Duszpasterstwo Rodzin Archidiecezji Przemyskiej. Thank you for your generosity!

The Knights of Columbus 600 would like to thank the parishioners of Our Lady of Refuge for their strong support of the April 24th pancake breakfast donation for the people of Ukraine.

The breakfast raised $2,000 plus the matching donation of $1,000 from K of C 600. There will be $3,000 dollars going to help the people of Ukraine. $1,500 will be sent to the Knights of Columbus Ukraine Solidarity Fund (100% of donations go to the displaced people of Ukraine), the other $1,500 will be sent to the Sisters Servants of Jesus.

The Sisters Servants of Jesus has three convents in Ukraine helping displaced people. Fr. P. Nowak recommended them for our support.

A special thank you to the Princess Mediterranean Grill of Commerce for their food donation.

Again, the Knights of Columbus 600 appreciates your strong support in this humanitarian effort for the people of Ukraine.

The Knights of Columbus Refund Support Vocations Program (RSVP) allows a local Council to support a seminarian each year. Under this program, local councils or assemblies can make an annual contribution of $500 or more to an individual seminarian to help with his seminary expenses, so that they can work towards ordination. The local Council receives credit in the Faith Program section from the Knights Supreme Council.

The Knights of Columbus Monsignor A. X. M. Sharpe Council #600 has supported seminarian Daniel Whalen the last year two years (2020-2021) as part of the RSVP program. Msgr. A. X. M. Sharpe Council Grand Knight Greg Zawalski presented Seminarian Daniel Whalen a check during Mass on Sunday, August 22.

All of the Brother Knights in the Knights of Columbus Monsignor A. X. M. Sharpe Council #600 will pray for Daniel for a successful year in his studies this year at Sacred Heart Major Seminary.
