Introduction
Greetings, fellow Catholics and Knights of Columbus! We are the John A. Kenna council out of St. Anthony of Padua parish in Temperance, MI. Our council is a vibrant and active community of Catholic men dedicated to serving our parish and our local community, following the principles of our founder, Father Michael J. McGivney.
In this blog post, we want to share with you the many ways in which our council is making a difference in the lives of those around us, and invite you to join us in our mission of faith and charity.
Our Programs and Activities
As a council, we are involved in a wide range of programs and activities that aim to promote the spiritual, social, and material welfare of our members and our community. Here are some examples:
Charity and Outreach
We organize regular fundraisers and events to support local charities and organizations that serve the needy, such as food banks, crisis pregnancy centers, and nursing homes. We also provide direct assistance to individuals and families in need, such as financial aid, home repairs, and transportation.
Family and Youth Activities
We host a variety of family-friendly and youth-oriented events and programs, such as picnics, movie nights, sports tournaments, and scouting activities. These are great opportunities for members and their families to bond, have fun, and grow in faith and virtue.
Spiritual Formation and Prayer
We offer various opportunities for spiritual growth and fellowship, such as Bible studies, rosary devotions, Eucharistic adoration, and retreats. We also support vocations to the priesthood and religious life through prayer and financial contributions.
