Council Golf Tournament Raises $11,000 |
 Thank you to brother SK Mike Chapman, PGK who organized the "Day of Events" activities. |
|
Our Annual Golf Tournament was again a great success. Thanks to those involved, our Council raised over $11,000. Each juror Council puts on a golf tournament to raise money for our general funds. As a Council here at St. Edwards, we donate to many charities. This year's tournament was held at Aliso Viejo Country Club and was run by committee chairman, David Franzetta. Special thanks to David and his staff, especially the great amount of work put in by brother SK Mike Chapman, PGK who worked relentlessly scheduling the day of events activities. This included a raffle, silent auction and helicopter ball drop, not to mention all the contests on the course. Everyone had fun as usual, and because of this great success. Our Council is in good standing, financially. To see a list of our councils charities [ click here]. | |

Knights of Columbus and Birth Choice Team Up With Technology to Save Lives |
 A Siemens 4-D Ultrasound Machine |
Four Knights of Columbus councils in South Orange County, California, expressed their core principals of Fraternity and Unity in a Charitable drive to save unborn babies, and express their respect for life. Compelled to action by their faith in God these men were called to experience love and compassion by helping those in need, a call they answer every day.
Working together, the Knights of Columbus councils from St. Edward the Confessor Parish in Dana Point, Mission Parish in San Juan Capistrano, St. Timothy Parish in Laguna Niguel, and Our Lady of Fatima Parish in San Clemente, have so far raised more than $100,000 in support of Birth Choice Clinics. The funds collected by these councils are being matched by the Knights’ Supreme Council in Connecticut to purchase new, 4-D ultrasound machines. Birth Choice will use these ultrasound machines in five clinics and in their mobile clinic to enhance the level of counseling.Women at-risk for abortion who receive counseling and view an ultrasound of their baby are twice as likely to choose life as women who receive counseling alone. {Read More} |
