Ramp Building For Dolores Brown

Dolores is the widow of our beloved Vincent 'Vinny' Brown, a loyal member of our Council and Assembly for many years.  Vinny, despite his disabilities, was probably the most active member of our Council.  So, when Dolores reached out for assistance, it was our pleasure to help her.  Many thanks to Brother Knights Ed D'Orazio, Mike Cook, Jim Range, Cregg Yates, and Gonz.

We had a very successful LIFE CHAIN on November 1, 2020, praying hard to end the evil of abortion. One hundred thirty participants both young and old, and some came all the way from St. Gregory Parish in Bluffton.  Our Council was represented by our Chaplain – Rev. Fr. Andrew Trapp, Deacon Michael Beeler, FN James and Jane Range, BK Jim and Theresa Pennell, BK Rich and Mary Holihan, BK Bill and wife Haissig, BK Dan and Lisa Daly, BK Caesar and Sally Moona, BK Henry and son Kristian Santos, BK Gonz and Armi Gonzalez, Ten Brother Knights and their ladies from Bluffton Council led by their FN Peter Watson participated also.  And our Sister Columbiettes were also represented. What a wonderful day to be a Catholic, especially to be a Knight of Columbus.  The old signs were given away due to the pandemic and we pledged to finance new signs to the Chairwoman - Theresa Pulliam.

Walk for Water is a Go for 2020

Brother Knights,  Walk for Water is one of the most rewarding events of my year.  I hope you'll join the Council's Team this year as a donor, walker, or both.  Last year our nine member team raised $1,495.  With over a month to plan this year, we can do even better.  Bring the family along for a nice afternoon walk in Port Royal.  Here's a short video from last year's walk to get you started:
