Council News and Events
To help celebrate the feast of St. Patrick, the Knights of Columbus hosted a pot-luck dinner at St. Hugh after the 5 PM mass on March 17th. For several weeks beforehand, traditional Irish recipes were posted in the bulletin, including one for corn beef and cabbage, approved by long-time parishioner and Ireland native, Bridgett McDermot. Over fifty people brought other staples to share and together we celebrated the saint which helped spread Christianity to Ireland.
"Another year, another successful blood drive" as the saying goes. This year we had over 30 people donate despite the rainy day. Their donations go to help save the lives of people all across the region. Plans have already been discussed on how to improve future blood drives with the Red Cross and we look forward to next year's.
Brother Knights,
One way to build the culture of life is by promoting the dignity of persons with intellectual disabilities by encouraging all to support the Maryland Special Olympics as volunteers or promoters. While our council has not scheduled a group volunteer opportunity, this message is offered to you and your families to consider a volunteer shift between June 5- 11, 2017.
