Message from First Lady Project
Brothers;
We have now created a Microsoft Form to collect all Wheelchair Sunday events being planned for each council.
Please share this QR code and email with all your District Deputies and Grand Knights. The purpose of this form is to create a list for the State Deputy and First Lady. They would like to know where all the Wheelchair Sundays are being scheduled. Our goal is to sponsor 15,000 wheelchairs or raise $2,250,000.
Grand Knights: The goal for each council is to plan and schedule one Wheelchair Sunday with Pulpit Announcement (if allowed) for the fraternal year.
District Deputies: Each District should host at least 3 Wheelchair Sundays among the councils in a District.
All councils are encouraged to collaborate with Catholic Daughters of America Courts or any other ministry
Message from Charity Director
The Texas State Council introduced the license plate program in 2004 which means the program has been in effect for over 20 years. Currently we are granting each diocese almost $2,000 each year from this program. Since inception, the Knights of Columbus have provided over $500,000 to help our retired priests.
However, less than 1% of the Knights in the State participated. The easiest way to obtain your plate is to access www.myplates.com and locate the Knights of Columbus plates under the section for State Sponsored Charities and Organizations. The KC license plates are $30, or a specialty KC license plate is $70. The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles sends $22 to the State Council for retired priests for each license plate issued.
