To All Knights of Columbus:
In an effort to come to the aid of the people of Haiti, who
are suffering a humanitarian catastrophe of huge proportions
in the wake of Tuesday evening's 7.0 earthquake, the Knights
of Columbus has today sent an immediate contribution of
$50,000 to Catholic Relief Services, and we invite Knights
to make contributions through the Supreme Council so that we
can maximize the impact of the funds raised, and document
the amount donated in this tragedy by members of the Order.
Donations by individual Knights can be made on line, and
this feature should be available on the Supreme Council
website (
www.kofc.org)
by later this evening. Checks should be made out to Knights
of Columbus Charities, Inc. and mailed to 1 Columbus Plaza,
New Haven, CT 06510. Please write "Haiti Earthquake Relief"
on the memo line of the check.
Contributions will be used to provide assistance wherever it
can have the most immediate impact, and where the need is
greatest.
We ask all Knights and their families to also offer their
prayers for the victims of this terrible disaster.
