Brother Knights,
A Year of Generosity and Service
As we begin 2024, we take a moment to celebrate the incredible achievements of our council over the past year. The Knights of Columbus have once again demonstrated the values of charity, unity, and fraternity through your unwavering support and dedication to serving others.
In 2024, our council contributed generously to a wide range of charitable causes, making a meaningful impact in the lives of many. With the help of many to raise funding, we donated $500 to NET Ministries in Ireland, helping spread the faith among youth, and $250 to the Diocese of Tombura to support communities in South Sudan. A $300 donation to the Alzheimer’s Association, matched dollar for dollar, provided $600 to support research and care for those affected by this devastating disease.
Your compassion extended to those affected by natural disasters, with a $500 donation to Brother’s Brother Foundation for Hurricane Helene relief efforts. We also supported life-affirming initiatives, including $500 to the Network of Life (formerly WCN) and $500 to the Knights of Columbus Ultrasound Initiative, empowering women to make informed choices about life.
Locally, we brought joy to children and families by contributing $500 to Toys for Tots and $600 to the Keep Christ in Christmas program, reinforcing the true meaning of the season. One of our most significant contributions this year was $3,000 to TRY Special Needs, enhancing opportunities and resources for individuals with special needs in our community.
These accomplishments are a testament to the collective dedication and generosity of our members. Whether through donations, volunteer efforts, or prayerful support, each of you has played a vital role in fulfilling our mission.
As we look ahead to 2025, let us continue to build on this foundation of service and faith, striving to make a difference wherever we are called. Thank you for your hard work and commitment to living out the principles of the Knights of Columbus.
May God bless you and your families in the year ahead!
Vivat Jesus!
Thank you,
Ken Landau, Grand Knight
