COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
COATS FOR KIDS (December 16, 2023) The Coats for Kids program was held at St. Bernadine Roman Catholic Church in Baltimore. The Santo Nino Council No. 9462 joined Cardinal Sheehan of Baltimore No. 205, Bishop Sebastian No. 5058, and St. Matthew's International No. 11787 for this District 32 event. Each council contributed at least $400. DD Erwin Lacanienta coordinated the efforts of the four councils to host the event. We had spaghetti and other entrees for lunch. PGK D'Gee Abad shopped, found great deals for coats, and procured 120 winter coats in various sizes in boy's, girl's, and adult's sizes. The distribution was very orderly and efficiently done by the team of PGK D'Gee Abad, SK Jessie Sayo, and Br. Jack Penafiel.

"Knights are called to serve others. Our first principle is Charity-at home wih our families and in our communities. When Knights of Columbus members come together, they accomplish great things." -Community programs section of kofc.org
