Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday
November 29, 2022
Winter is right around the corner. If weather predictions come to fruition, it could be a record cold year for multiple regions across North America.
If you’re fortunate to have a warm winter coat, count your blessings. But many children don’t have this basic necessity, especially with the rising costs of food, gas, and heating. As families struggle to pay for these basic expenses, others ask: “How can I help?”
Knights of Columbus invites you to join us on November 29th when we once again participate in Giving Tuesday – an international day of giving – to support our Coats for Kids campaign as well as other local causes within our Delphos community.
GivingTuesday is less than two weeks away. Please mark your calendar and join in on the excitement! Click on the button below to make your donation.

We are in need of volunteers each year, please consider joining us and donating a small amount of your time to help the needy in our community. Use the "Contact Us" button at the bottom of this page to let us know you are willing to help out.

*** NEED HELP - PLEASE SIGN UP IF YOU ARE ABLE ***
Supreme is collaborating with the March for Life to help organize and promote state Marches for Life across the United States. With the Ohio March (Oct. 5) approaching, we wanted to reach out to the Ohio Knights to see if they can offer any assistance.
Supreme and Ohio State Councils are looking to see if there are any Knights planning to attend this year's march in Columbus and might be willing to volunteer some time as a Life Marshall. The duties are linked below. If you are interested, please contact Chris Sarka, State Warden, at 614-546-6357 or via email at c_sarka@hotmail.com.
Mother Teresa: No Greater Love
Mother Teresa: No Greater Love
A Special Invitation from Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly
"A film you will not want to miss on the big screen." - Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly
North American release in theaters for
two nights ONLY, October 3 and 4
As announced at the Supreme Convention, the Knights of Columbus produced a feature-length film about the life and legacy of Mother Teresa. Over 900 theaters across the nation will show Mother Teresa: No Greater Love on October 3 and 4. Made to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Mother Teresa’s passing, this documentary is a breathtaking account of this globally renowned and heroic humanitarian, as well as the work of her religious community.
We urge every Knight to attend a showing in their community and encourage fraternal leaders to organize a council or parish-wide outing by purchasing group tickets (25 minimum), or even buying out the theater for your group.
Mother Teresa inspired countless people of all ages around the world. This is a great opportunity for Knights, their families and friends to learn more about this modern day Saint and be inspired to put their faith into action.

Golf for Michael Parteleno
Golf for Michael Parteleno
August 7, 2022
Brother Knight,
Michael began to lose his eyesight around 4½ years old with no explanation. Nor did he ever say something was wrong or different. His parents realized there was an issue when he started holding his head facing upward. The Doctor later explained that he was only able to see out of the bottom part of his eye.
In March of 2020, on the day the State of Ohio “shut down/restrictions” due to Covid, the devastating diagnosis of Batten Disease a rare, progressive, neurological disease with no treatment, no cure and is 100% fatal was given to Michael's parents.
The President's Charity Foundation is hosting a golf outing for Michael and his parents on Sunday, August 7, 2022 at Olde Dutch Mill Golf Course, 2745 Grandview Rd, Lake Milton.
First, we ask for you and your council members to keep Michael and his family in your prayers. Second, if you are able, come out and join us for some golf and good time, all while helping Michael. Click the button below for more information.
Thank you and God Bless!
The President's Charity Foundation
