B-I-N-G-O!

Start the School Year with BINGO! - 9/22/2010

Start the school year the right way - with BINGO! We will be hosting the first bingo night of our scholarship year on Wednesday, September 22nd in the school cafeteria. Doors open at 7pm, first game starts at 7:30. $20 to get in includes food (meatball hoagies!) and 2 cards that you can play all night. Extra cards for the night are $5 and there are 'specials'. This will be a 50-50 prize night, meaning that half of the money collected from admission and card sales will be used as prizes. So, the more folks that come, the bigger the pot. There will be extra food and drinks to purchase too. The other half that is collected will go towards our annual scholarship program. We're hoping for another great turnout so that we can be very generous to more college bound high school students. Please plan to come and play so that our high school seniors can be the big winners!


Blood Drive on August 1st

We are currently organizing a blood drive at St. Ann's Church Cafeteria, which will take place on Sunday August 1st from 9am to 2pm. Our area is always in need of donated blood. We hope to have a tremendous response from our parishoners who are willing to roll up their sleves and donate. There is no substitute for human blood and so the only source for the people who need it - is YOU.  Please donate if you can. Visit www.giveapint.org/donate/facts for some interesting facts about blood donation. For more information or to make an appointment, go to the 'Contact Us' page and leave us a confidential message or call us at 484-519-0562 A Knight from our council will get in touch with you. Thank you!

Tuesday is primary day here in PA. Please try to make it to the polls. Also, consider those issues that are near and dear to our hearts as Catholics and cast your vote for the person that will actively uphold those same values.

More About Health Care Reform
HearYe By Knight Blogger on1/17/2010 7:58 PM

On Capital Hill, our politicians are feverishly working towards hammering out a bill to overhaul the nation's health care system. We have to emphasize that as Catholics, we can not support a bill that has any provision that promotes or subsidizes elective abortions. Please use the links above to the left and call your local representative. Be polite, but be firm in explaining that you oppose a final bill which includes such provisions. Emails are great, but phone calls do seem to make more of an im ...

HearYeFrom The NetBy Knight Blogger on12/23/2009 1:49 PM

Up above, we posted a summary of the origin of Veterans Day. But we'd be remiss if we didn't specifically thank those in our council that served. To all our veterans, your service and sacrifice are appreciated more than we can ever express. We are grateful to have you in our council and humbled to call you "Brother Knights".

While the debate over health care reform rages on (what is it, who gets it, who pays for it), Cardinal Rigali wrote on July 29 to the members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee urging them to amend “America’s Affordable Health Choices Act” (H.R. 3200) to retain longstanding government policies on abortion and conscience rights.
