  • PASS THE HAT  - In the last May convention in Yakima, we had Pass the Hat Fund raising.  Our goal was $12,000 and we’ve collected $13,752.  In addition to this amount, Supreme gave a grant of $3,438 for a grand total of $17,190.  3 CATHOLIC COMMUNITY SERVICES from Washington have received $5,730 each. They are from Western Washington, Spokane, and Yakima.  69 councils participated out of 150 councils.

    This upcoming convention in May 2025, we are again going to have the Pass the Hat fund raising.  We would like you to inform your councils to bring checks for this purpose of various amounts and we would like to surpass our collection last year, with or without grants from Supreme.

  • WARRIORS TO LOURDES - In partnership with the Archdiocese for Military Services U.S.A., the Knights of Columbus provides the opportunity and means for our non-wounded, wounded, ill and injured U.S. warriors to participate in the Warriors to Lourdes pilgrimage for a period of prayer and spiritual guidance. We accompany and support our warriors and their families throughout the course of the pilgrimage which occurs during the annual International Military Pilgrimage (PMI) in Lourdes, France. Every $3,000 raised sends a warrior to Lourdes.

Between now until the end of November, let’s provide funds to the WARRIORS TO LOURDES.  Since this pilgrimage for this year is already done, the funds we raise will be for the May 2025 pilgrimage. Let’s allocate profits from our breakfast or any fundraising events to this very good cause by sending Warriors to Lourdes, France

To sponsor a Warrior – Please send a check to our State Secretary Tom Williams payable to Columbus Charities with a note “Warriors to Lourdes” for the amount of $150.00.  If all the 150 councils and 62 assemblies be able to contribute $150 each, we’ll be able to send 10 Warriors to Lourdes.
