The Pennsylvania State Council of the Knights of Columbus on September 17 made two financial contributions in support of retired religious and vocations to the priesthood. The contributions were in the amount of $2,772.34 for the Retired Religious Fund, and $1,428.17 to the Christopher Fund in support of vocations.
Representatives from the State Council presented the two checks at the Diocesan Center in Harrisburg to Bishop Timothy Senior, who was joined by Father Mark Speitel, Diocesan Secretary for Clergy and Consecrated Life, and Father Joshua Weaver, Diocesan Vocations Director.
