My name is James Stack and on behalf of the Knights of Columbus, I want to
extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your unwavering support of our
initiatives through the years. Your generosity and commitment have made a profound
impact on our community.

Thank you for your Contributions towards our coat drive. Your kindness has made a
significant impact on our community. Because of your support, we have been able to
donate over 800 articles of clothing each year to those in need. This includes vital
contributions to organizations like the VA, the Coatesville Women's and Children
Alliance, multiple outreach programs in Kensington, St. Agnes Day School, and Safe
Harbour in West Chester. Your donations have ensured that many families can stay warm
during the colder months, providing comfort and relief to those who need it most.

Thank you for your generosity over the years for our Baby Bottle program and Spaghetti
Dinners. Because of your support since 1996, we have been able to donate over
$140,000 to Birthright, helping mothers and children in need.

Thank you for your monetary support as it allows us to provide scholarships to a boy and
girl from both of our parishes (SSPJ and SSPP) who will be attending Catholic high
schools. This opportunity reflects our commitment to investing in the future of our faith
and community.

We are equally honored to once again sponsor Biking for Babies—an initiative that not
only promotes healthy living but also champions the precious cause of protecting life. In
addition to this, we continue to provide the March for Life Bus to Harrisburg, and in prior
years the bus to the March for Life in Washington DC, ensuring that our voices are heard
in defense of the most vulnerable among us.

Through our sponsorship of the Spiritual Adoption program, we raise awareness and
support for unborn children, nurturing a culture of life in every corner of our community.
It is our privilege to contribute to the formation of our future priests through Seminarian
Support. The leaders of tomorrow are being shaped today, and we are honored to play a
part in that sacred journey.

Thank you for your unwavering support for our blood drive. It has made a profound
impact on our community. Each pint donate benefits up to three people in need. Since
2021, we have averaged an incredible 65 pints of blood each year, all thanks to your
willingness to give.

Together, we are making a significant difference, and it is your generosity and kindness
enables us to continue our work.

The Knights of Columbus are a group of men dedicated to serving our community while
sharing in fellowship and faith. We are committed to making a positive impact, and we
have fun while doing it!

Some of the activities we are involved in include:
*Stations of the Cross on the first Sunday of every month at SSPJ.
*Men’s Prayer Group – a time for spiritual growth and reflection.
*Catholic Book Club – for those who love to deepen their faith through reading.
*IHM Sisters support - through events like Oktoberfest and the Nun Run. Our
involvement has not only bolstered their mission but has also strengthened our
ties within the community.
*Keep Christ in Christmas magnets – reminding others of the true meaning of the
season.
*Good Friday Family Promotion – a special effort to bring families together in
faith.
*Decorating the Crèche and assisting with setting up Christmas trees and wreaths
on and near the altar during the holiday season.

We also support important causes like:
*The Novena for Life – to pray for the protection of human life.
*Helping Hands – aiding those in need.
*Eagle Scout Sponsorship – supporting young leaders in our community.

If any of these activities resonate with you, we would love for you to consider joining our
Knights council in our mission of service. Together, we can make a meaningful difference
in the lives of others and in our parish community.

Thank you again for your generous support as we serve this Parish.
