The Houston Coalition for Life held their annual Run/Walk event on September 30th and the St. Bernadette Knights were in attendance. The event raised over $440,000 to support the free services provided by Houston Coalition for Life's Blue Blossom Pregnancy Centers. Because of the loving encouragement expecting moms receive, 93% of the women served by HCL choose LIFE for their preborn babies!
The Knights’ joined The Catholic Organization for Life “COOL” on October 14, 2023 for the March of the Surviving Youth to peacefully pray for an end to Abortion. “COOL” is Houston’s only city-wide pro-Life youth group. We met at the Catholic Charismatic Center for Mass followed by an inspirational speaker and music. Following the rally, we marched to Planned Parenthood, praying for life.
St. Bernadette's Council 10959 once again staffed a concession booth at the Houston Air Show on October 14-15, 2023. This is one of our council's primary fundraisers. For 2 days, a crew of 15 knights and family members, man the booth for 9 hours on a Saturday and Sunday selling concession foods and showing the public how much we love to serve others. The $2,500 we earned in just 2 days contributes to our annual charities revenue and is distributed to several charitable organizations.
Our TopGolf Charity Benefit on October 19, 2023 was a huge success! Over 100 people attended and we raised just under $16,000 for our charities which may be the most money we have ever raised with one event. A special thanks goes out to our sponsors and brothers who supported this benefit.
