6966 Open Challenge

My Brother Knights,

Hopefully, all the Utah K of C Councils and Assemblies now have an activity planned to raise money for the Charis Pregnancy Clinic’s Ultrasound Machine.

Council 6966 at Blessed Sacrament set April 18-19 for a breakfast burrito event, with all funds received going toward the ultrasound machine.  The council voted to send at least $700.  A challenge to all the other councils and assemblies!

During the pulpit talks for the Charis Pregnancy Clinic, we will also have a K of C membership drive with sign-ups after all the masses that weekend (5 pm Saturday; 8:30 am and 11 am on Sunday).

Thank you in advance for your help!

What are the Knights of Columbus?

The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic men’s fraternal benefit society that was formed to render financial aid to members and their families. Mutual aid and assistance are offered to sick, disabled and needy members and their families. Social and intellectual fellowship is promoted among members and their families through educational, charitable, religious, social welfare, war relief and public relief works. Imagine being part of an organization that fills your heart and your mind with the joy of giving to others and the feeling that comes with making a difference. Knights are Catholic men, 18 years of age and older, who are committed to making their community a better place, while supporting their Church. Being a Knight is more than camaraderie; it is being involved with your community; it is supporting your local Catholic Church, while enhancing your own faith; it is about protecting and enhancing your family life. Please contact us for more information about becoming a Knight!
