The St. Ann Catholic Church Knights of Columbus recently held their annual essay and poster contest for students in grades K-8. After Mass on Friday, teachers of kindergarten through 2nd grade were awarded Barnes and Noble gift cards for the purchase of books for their classrooms. Dr. Ed Jackson presented gift cards and certificates to the winners of the essay contest (grades 3-8). Congratulations to Amelia, Cecelia, Madison, and Andrea! The theme of this year’s contest was “the greatest strengths of St. Ann School”. Dr. Jackson also judged the spelling bee for the school on Friday afternoon.

Knights Host Easter Doughnut Sunday

Parishioners at St. Ann Catholic Church were welcomed to hot coffee, pink lemonade, and sweet doughnuts. Easter service was moving and refreshed us all in what our Lord has done for us. Both the 8:30 and 11am Mass services were followed by fellowship, hot coffee and doughnuts. One lady approached a Knight and commented, “I need more of this, I must get registered”.

At our regular business meeting April 3, 2023 the council voted to support Operation LAMB with money donated during our Fish Fry. Operation LAMB is where Knights of Columbus throughout the State of NC stand outside retail establishments offering Tootsie Rolls for optional donations. The Knights raise over $600,000 annually for the LAMB Foundation with this program. Operation provides support for people with intellectual disabilities.

Thanks again.
