Support for local mothers and infants in need

SACRED HEART KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS 15682 RAISES OVER $42k FOR MARY'S SHELTER

The Knights of Columbus from Sacred Heart (Bethlehem PA) Council 15682, were very pleased to present a check for their 2018 Bottles for Babies campaign on July 13. Over the past six years, with the compassionate generosity of the parishioners and pastor Fr. Robert George, the Knights of Columbus have contributed $42,232.70 to the mission of Mary’s Shelter.

The shelter provides both residential and non-residential services for pregnant women and women with newborns who need a supportive environment, enabling them to keep their children. While caring for the women and babies, Mary’s Shelter prepares mothers for independent living and visions of hope for their futures.

Devin Isamoyer, Mary’s Shelter Cay Galgon Center commented, “Thank you so much to all the individuals who were able to help. We greatly appreciate it.”

Grand Knight Allan Baenziger stated, “As a young organization, Sacred Heart Council 15682 feels blessed to have been part of so many opportunities to achieve the Knights of Columbus goals of promoting charitable welfare within the community and the Catholic principle of protecting life for the unborn and the young.”
