CONYNGHAM – The Knights of Columbus, Our Lady of Fatima Council 8613, of Saint John Bosco Church in Conyngham, and Good Shepherd Church in Drums, recently held a Coats for Kids Drive for the needy of the greater Hazleton area.
More than 80 new coats were donated by the Council.
Council members are currently collecting items for this year’s Cross Catholic Outreach ‘Box of Joy’ program. This marks the sixth year that the Council has joined with Cross Catholic Outreach to bring smiles and hope to children who might otherwise go without a Christmas gift.
The Knights will also sponsor a holiday blood drive on Thursday, Dec. 11 in the Saint John Bosco gym. All are invited to make an appointment.
The Conyngham Council has been named a Star Council for the third year in a row.
Men from the greater Hazleton area are welcome to become members. The Council meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month from 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. in Saint John Bosco Hall.
