Coming up
Coats for Folks drive
Our annual coat drive opens at all of our parishes. Collection boxes will be at each church, staffed by Knights through the drive. Good, warm coats for children and adults are all welcome.
Membership drive
Knights will speak briefly at all Masses across our parishes about the work of the Council and how to join. If you have been meaning to ask, this is the easiest way.
Car & Bike raffle
Tickets are on sale now at local businesses and after Masses. Proceeds support the Council’s charitable work across Ulster County.
