As committed as the Knights of Columbus are to the Catholic Church, we are also committed to our community. One of the ways in which the Knights of the Alex Semel Council at St. John of the Cross fulfill our commitment to the community is by annually providing financial support to Special Olympics of Louisiana.
Special Olympics provides year-round sports training and athletic competition to more than 2.5 million people and is committed to empowering people with intellectual disabilities on and off the playing field. By working to remove obstacles, change attitudes and open minds, Special Olympics provides opportunities for its athletes to demonstrate courage, experience joy, and share their gifts, skills, and friendship with the world.
At the last Lenten Fish Fry March 18, we presented Special Olympics of Louisiana a check for $1,000.00 as our annual contribution to this excellent program.
