the goods to Ravenna in mid-October. Goods collected Spring thru end of September.
Knights of Columbus
Nationally, the Knights foster Christian principles and provide prayer and financial
support for vocations to priesthood. Locally, funds are raised for Mom¹s House,
Birthright, Retarded Children¹s Charities and the Honduran Mission, just to name
a few.
Mom’s House
Mom’s House is a system of God-centered, non-denominational day care centers. Each
licensed day care center provides quality child care and educational programs to
pre-school children of single parents. Our goal is to enable single, student parents
to complete their educations. In addition to day care, supportive services such
as counseling, tutoring, and parenting classes are offered to the parents free of
charge.
Natural Family Planning (NFP)
Method of learning a couple¹s natural fertility with the purpose of achieving or
postponing conception. It is a loving way of life in which a husband and wife each
make the decision to control their fertility together, and one partner is not burdened
with the decision. It is the only method accepted by the Catholic Church because
it does not interfere with God¹s plan of creation.
Assistance Ministry
The Assistance Ministry helps those who are in need of financial assistance.
Pro-Life Ministry
The Pro-Life Ministry sponsors distribution of materials raising public awareness
of the terrible consequences of abortion, not only to the pre-born but to the mother
and society as well. Group provides leadership and fundraising for annual March
for Life trip to Washington, D.C., as well as other events sponsored spotlighting
respect for life in all its stages.
