ABOUT OUR COUNCIL
Knights of Columbus Q & A:
Question: What do the Knights do with the money they raise?
Answer: Our council distributes the monies raised each year to various church groups within Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, along with individual Knight Families in need of help and other charities needing help in the County.
Question: Can you be more specific?
Answer: The Knights give money to The Quilt Ministry, Hispanic Ministry, Faith Formation, Food for Families. We sponsor a seminarian Wendell Sawyer out of Greensboro, NC (St. Paul’s). We also support A Storehouse for Jesus, in Mocksville, with our Coats for Kids drive.
Question: What do the Knights do for Saint Francis Church?
Answer: The Knights help in making small repairs to the buildings and grounds. We painted the new stripes in the parking lot, installed a new side entrance in the Parish hall. This year with Knight funding and the 50/50 raffle, we are building a new front entry garden, with a statue donated from a Knight’s family that was picked out personally by Father Andrew.
Question: Why do the Knights have so many fundraisers?
Answer: In these trying times, The Knights are being asked by all groups inside and outside Saint Francis for help. The fundraisers allow us to give a little bit too each group and families. We can only do this with the support of our Parish families.
Question: We see the Knights at Wal-Mart giving out Tootsie Rolls, what does this support?
Answer: The Knights support a State program called LAMB, which stands for “Least Among My Brethren”. This program assist groups that aid with intellectual disabilities. Our council supports ARC of Davie County 336-998-3208 and Special Olympics of Davie County.
We hope this helps answer some of your questions about the Knights of Columbus, we look for your support in this year’s programs. Please see our upcoming Knights events. We hope to see you there and for your support.
If you have any Questions please feel free to contact Grand Knight Peter Falk or Program Director Tony Palozzolo
