Dear St. John the Beloved Parishioners,
Since our charter was established
in 1996, the St. John the Beloved Council of the Knights of Columbus has nearly
doubled in membership. We have received tremendous support from our Parish and
Community and want you to know that, because of your support, we have been able
to help many parish organizations and local charities with financial support and
volunteer hours.
In just ten years we have donated
more than $120,000 (much of it to parish beneficiaries); supported formation of
other Councils in Delaware; and supported local and International K of C
programs. Council members have volunteered more than 75,000 hours (equal to 36
years of full time service), giving over 8,000 hours annually in our many
service programs.
The following is a partial
accounting of some of our activities and beneficiaries. Thank you for your
tremendous support. We ask for your continued support and prayers as we grow
together to do God's will. If you know a Catholic man over the age of 18 who
might be interested, please have him contact Vito DiChiara (455-9159), Kevin
Duffy (366-1655), or any knight about joining our council here at St. John the
Beloved or visit our web site at
www.11796.kofc-de.org .
