Haiti Earthquake Relief
WORTHY STATE OFFICERS:

In an effort to come to the aid of the people of Haiti, who are suffering a humanitarian catastrophe of huge proportions in the wake of Tuesday evening's 7.0 earthquake, the Knights of Columbus has today sent an immediate contribution of $50,000 to Catholic Relief Services (Read Supreme's Memo) , and we are asking that state and local councils make their contributions through the Supreme Council so that we can maximize the impact of the funds raised.

Donations by individual Knights can be made on line on the Supreme Council website (www.kofc.org). Checks should be made out to Knights of Columbus Charities, Inc. and mailed to 1 Columbus Plaza, New Haven, CT 06510.  Please write "Haiti Earthquake Relief" on the memo line of the check.

Contributions will be used to provide assistance wherever it can have the most immediate impact, and where the need is greatest. 

 
Please also offer your prayers for the victims of this terrible disaster.

--->>>  The date for this year's Improve-A-Home Program is April 24 with a rain date two weeks later. We are presently seeking candidate sites for our eager team of site captains, and will be seeking the talent of the Council members to staff the teams that will be needed. Please stay tuned for the sign-up time.

--->>>  The Office for Family Life will host the Diocese’s inaugural Men’s Conference at St. Joseph’s Banquet Hall in Herndon on March 13.  Come join other Catholic men for a day of inspiration, fellowship, and rededication to the Lord.  Speakers include Fr. Paul Scalia, Rep. Chris Smith, and Bishop Paul Loverde as homilist, with a keynote talk by fighter pilot and former P.O.W. Capt. Guy Gruters.  For more information, please see the conference flyer or go to www.arlingtondiocese.org
