The Pennsylvania State Council of the Knights of Columbus had the distinct honor of presenting two generous contributions to the Most Reverend Joseph C. Bambera, Bishop of Scranton, in support of vocations and other vital diocesan needs. The funds were drawn from the Knights’ long-standing Labels Program and the Christopher Fund, both of which are dedicated to furthering the charitable and spiritual mission of the Church.
Bishop Bambera received the checks with sincere gratitude, noting that both contributions will be directed toward supporting vocations—helping to strengthen the mission of the Diocese and further enhance the programs that inspire and sustain men who are discerning the priesthood and religious life.
The Knights of Columbus, rooted in the principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism, remain deeply committed to supporting the work of the Church and ensuring that vocations are fostered and encouraged across Pennsylvania.
The Knights of Columbus in Pennsylvania continue to uphold their mission of service, faith, and fraternity—walking alongside the Church in strengthening vocations and building communities of hope, prayer, and discipleship.
