                               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.

Members of the Massachusetts State Council, along with priests and seminarians from the Blessed John XXIII Seminary in Weston, participated in the March for Life in Washington, D.C., Jan. 22. The state council sponsored a bus for the seminarians and for an archdiocesan youth group.

Roxbury Council 123 held a parish cookout for members, their families, parishioners, and local community and business leaders. Knights served burgers and chips, while attendees were encouraged to bring their own favorite ethnic dishes.

Crusader Council 2706 at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester welcomed students from the McAuley Nazareth Home for Boys to a college men’s basketball game. Knights treated attendees to a game between Holy Cross and Lehigh, and later to a pizza party. Nazareth Home is a school for boys who have suffered abuse or neglect.
