Knights in Action
Bishop Gallagher Knights of Columbus Council No. 2569 donated cases of coats to St. Mary Catholic Parish in Royal Oak, Michigan. The coats were presented by Grand Knight Timothy Gignac and gratefully accepted by George Krinke, the Coordinator of Evangelical Charity at St. Mary.
These and other coats coats provided warmth for children in need during cold winter months. The goal of the Knights of Columbus Coats for Kids program is to ensure that no child in North America goes without a coat during the winter season. Through the dedication of councils across the United States and Canada, hundreds of thousands of new winter coats have been distributed to children since the program's inception.

The Blessing Bags that Bishop Gallagher Council puts together for those less fortunate are given to the Royal Oak Police Department. Officers Carter on the left and Hertz on the right received the donations from Program Director Jeff Rollins, Grand Knight Tim Gignac, and Al Carter, Sr., in the center. These donations help many whom the police contact in their daily service to the community. This is a great outward expression of the first principle of the Knight of Columbus - CHARITY.
