The Knights of Columbus Council #16347 at St. Pius X Parish has launched its annual raffle to support both the parish?s outstanding building loan and helping those less fortunate in our communities through the charitable efforts of the Knights.

The council is dedicated to serving the greater Fairfield and Bridgeport communities. This year?s efforts are primarily focused on addressing food insecurity, a growing challenge for many local families. All proceeds, after prize expenses, go directly to charitable causes. When someone buys a raffle ticket, they?re not just taking part in a fun tradition ? they?re helping feed hungry families, shelter the homeless, and bring hope both locally and abroad.
