The Coral Gables council of the Knights of Columbus raised
$5,000 for the archdiocese’s respect life ministry during a
luncheon Aug. 17 attended by more than 100 people, including
Knights of Columbus leaders from around the state and Supreme
offices.
“This experience has caused me to have an even deeper trust in
the Lord and appreciation for the generosity of others … and I
can’t say enough about the support we have gotten from the
Knights of Columbus,” said Joan Crown, archdiocesan director
of the ministry.
Waldo Toyos and Daniel Biggs,
event chairmen, pointed out that the council had been
supportive of the respect life ministry for most of the past
decade, but the group redoubled its efforts when archdiocesan
budget cuts forced the ministry to rely completely on
donations to continue its good works.
Now, a number of council members and their wives are attending
respect life’s volunteer training programs and others are
making monthly contributions through the council
to the
ministry.
Those wishing to make contributions in support of the respect
life ministry may do so by mailing a check made payable to
“Knights of Columbus” with “Respect Life” in the memo line and
mailing it to Knights of Columbus, 270 Catalonia Avenue, Coral
Gables, FL 33134.
