For the past five years, the Knights of Columbus Council 4338 which serves St. John Brebeuf, St. Juliana, Immaculate Conception, and St. Isaacs Jogues parishes donated new coats for area toddlers and young children. This year’s efforts benefitted The Women’s Center and the Niles Food Pantry which will in turn distribute the 94 coats to local needy families.
