American Wheelchair Mission – Thank You
The St. Clare Knights of Columbus received the following Thank You card from the American Wheel Chair Mission for their recent donation. The American Wheelchair Mission is one of the many Knights of Columbus Charities that the Council donates to annually. St. Clare Knight, Rich Butler, participated in the worldwide effort with the delivery of wheelchairs to those in need in the Philippines. See Video: Texas Knights Providing Hope.
The American Wheelchair Mission is a non-profit organization with a goal to deliver brand new, free wheelchairs and mobility aids to physically disabled children, teens and adults throughout the world who are without mobility or the means to acquire a wheelchair. The American Wheelchair Mission will continue to change the lives of entire families with the gifts of hope, dignity, freedom and independence.

Co-Cathedral Tour
On Sunday, September 11, the Knights and their families took a tour of the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in downtown Houston.
