Month: May 2017

The St. Clare Knights of Columbus presented the 2017 Scholarship Awards at the graduation dinner on May 21.  The St Clare Knights began awarding scholarships to deserving high school graduates in 2012; since then, the Knights have funded scholarships totaling more than $27,000.

This year the St. Clare Knights awarded scholarships totaling $7,000 including the $3,000 Elizabeth Witten Scholarship.  James Witten was a 4th degree Knight, and the funding of this scholarship is one of the many ways his family honors his and his wife’s memory.  Grand Knight Mike Hahn presented this year’s Scholarship Awards to Matthew Bianchi (attending University of Texas-Austin), Benson Jacob (attending Texas A&M), Korrie Fulcher (attending University of Texas-Austin), Bailey Breaux (attending Texas A&M), Kaitlyn Golden (attending Stephen F. Austin), and Miles Hallberg (attending Texas A&M).  Congratulations to all the graduates, and best wishes as you embark on the next phase of your education!

The St. Clare Knights of Columbus held a New Knights Social for all those who joined the Council during the past year.  Grand Knight, Mike Hahn and his wife Veronica graciously hosted the event at their home on Sunday May 21st.  The Knights also recognized Father Vincent for winning the Clergy of the Year.  A wonderful meal was served including burgers, chopped beef sandwiches, all the fixin’s, tea and desert.  Several tried their luck at fishing off the dock, but nothing was caught except fish stories and fellowship.  Thanks to Mike and Veronica for their hospitality.

If you’re interested in joining the Knights, please contact us here.  Maybe we can see you next year.
