St. Barbara Knights Provide Coats for Kids!

 

 

Once again the St. Barbara Council Knights of Columbus provided coats to the needy children in our community.  The coats are purchased through the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council, who match our order coat-for-coat.  Our council was able to spend over $1400 and provide 144 coats to our neighbor children who are less fortunate.  We delivered the coats to Plateau Outreach Ministries in Enumclaw who distribute them to the children. The funds are raised throughout the year with breakfasts, food sales, flower sales and other donations.  Thank you St. Barbara parishioners for you generosity throughout the year!

Changing of the Guard 2024

Passing of the Gavel!

        

Past Grand Knight Gary Reed passed the gavel onto New Grand Knight, Zach Midles, as if it were a hot potato!  Gary served two years as the Grand Knight of our Council.  During Gary's tenure, the council received many awards and gained record membership numbers, thanks to his leadership.  Gary we will miss you as our leader and appreciate your endless hours and devotion to our Council, and to the Church.  At the same time, we are excited to gain Zach as our new leader.  Zach is an inspiration to all members and has been a pillar to our council since he began his membership in the Knights only 3 years ago.

Huge Success!

 

Thanks to all of you who helped this year.  We were able to raise over $3400 in donations that will all go to Special Olympics, Northwest Center and ARC of King County.  These are all organizations that help people with intellectual disabilities.  St. Barbara Council Knights do this drive every year.  This year we were at the Maple Valley Fred Meyer.  Special thanks to the kids that helped. You all did an awesome job!
