prevent taxpayer funding from being used to pay for abortionS
Dear Brother Knight,
Your immediate action is necessary to prevent taxpayer funding from
being used to pay for abortion.This week, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on several
government funding bills that remove long-standing, bi-partisan
provisions, such as the Hyde Amendment, which prohibit taxpayer
dollars from being used to pay for abortion. The Hyde Amendment
has been passed every year since it was first introduced in 1976 by
the late U.S. Rep. Henry Hyde of Illinois, a brother Knight. Over the last
45 years, this important provision has saved the lives of more than
2.4 million children!I urge you to take action today by calling your elected representatives
in Congress and asking them to preserve the Hyde Amendment.Our 2021 Knights of Columbus/Marist Polling found that 58% of
Americans oppose the use of taxpayer dollars to fund abortion
domestically, and that 77% oppose paying for abortions abroad.Visit the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Action Center
TODAY to contact your elected representatives and remind them that
Americans do not want their taxpayer dollars to be used in the killing of
innocent, unborn life.Thank you for taking action now to build a culture of life in America!
Fraternally,
Patrick E. Kelly

As you are aware, we have taken on the Christian Caring center as a recipient of our assistance this year, spearheaded by Jim Wilhelmi, who is doing a fantastic job.
On Monday June 14, our Knights successfully installed stockade fencing behind a duplex that is owned by the CCC.
This was set as a multi council event, and we thank several members from surrounding councils for helping in our effort.
Thank you to everyon who help in this effort. -

The ministry is officially back on as of this past weekend. Please consider volunteering to meet and greet at the doors of the church at the mass of your choosing. Harry thanked all who signed up so far but we could certainly use some more helpers especially at the 10:30 and 12:00 masses. See Harry Meshirer if interested.
