The St. Clare Knights of Columbus volunteer to help out at the Houston Food Bank on Saturday, January 28, 2017.  This is very rewarding event that the Knights hope to do every year.

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.

The St. Clare Knights of Columbus participated in Catholic Schools Week at St. Clare Catholic School.  The theme for the National Catholic Schools Week 2017 is “Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service.” The annual observance started Sunday January 29 and ran through February 4, 2017.  Schools celebrate Catholic Schools Week with Masses, open houses, and other activities for students, families, parishioners, and the community at large.

The St. Clare Knights of Columbus wish to thank everyone who contributed to the great success of our 5th Annual Casino Night.  We had wide participation from sponsors, to individual donors, those that contributed wine, dealers, volunteers, photography, audio/visual, those that setup, those that cleaned up, those that donated cookies and food, and of course the ladies that provided decorations and served food for the event. Preliminary estimates have us surpassing last year’s totals, as our most successful event yet.

Monday, September 24th, was Knights at the Ballpark as the Knights and their families watched the Astros take on the Seattle Mariners.  They were later joined by the Astro Gals / Guys – all had fun at the ballpark.  Unfortunately, the Astros lost the game 4-3 in 11 innings.
