                               Knights in Action

 

Reports printed in Columbia Magazine from local Massachusetts Councils of the Knights of Columbus on their charitable and fraternal activities. This listing is updated regularly.

Seminarians and priests from St. John Seminary joined the Knights at a special degree held April 2. Cardinal Seán P. O'Malley of Boston and State Deputy Vincent Rumasuglia are shown top row center. Rumasuglia presented Cardinal O'Malley with two checks from the Massachusetts State Council and from the Supreme Council for the archdiocese's ongoing efforts to educate people about the nature of marriage and oppose same-sex marriage legislation. Cardinal O'Malley is a member of Blessed Mother Council 13335 in Delray Beach, Fla.

Woburn Council 77 erected a Project Moses Ten Commandments Monument at St. Charles Borromeo Church. Knights raised more than $6,000 to erect the monument at their parish. Crusader Council 2706 at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester held a celebratory dinner in honor Jesuit Father Fred Enman, founder of the nonprofit group Matthew 25. Father Enman received the John W. Spillane Award and a $500 stipend for his work with the organization, which provides affordable housing to low-income families at 25 percent of their yearly income. Members of Council 2706 regularly volunteer at Matthew 25 projects by refurbishing damaged property in preparation for new tenants.

Peter Sletterhaugh of Frank M. Meader Council 6064 in Georgetown makes a blood donation during a drive to benefit Children’s Hospital Boston. The drive resulted in 19 pints of usable blood, and each pint can serve the needs of up to four children.
