During the COVID-19 outbreak, the Knights (along with other partners) have continued to collect record numbers of donations for the many that are in need. In addition to the monthly “MEGA” collection, the Knights collect non-expired, non-perishable food items every week on Saturdays, from 9-11 (Just look for the tent)

In conjunction with the Football Frenzy and the Mega Food Drive (and other food drives), the Knights will be conducting a collection to support a local Pregnancy Support Center. Please consider dropping off diapers (especially sizes 5 and 6), baby wipes, baby hygiene items (shampoo, etc.), and gently used baby clothes.

Please join us in listening to Dan Pollaci, Field Agent of the Knights of Columbus, discuss the many premier insurance products we offer to St. Gregory’s families. These products are an important tool in our mission to serve and protect the families of those in our Council.
