IMPORTANT UPDATE ON CONCORD COUNCIL #112 MEETINGS AND ACTIVITIES

Due to the Coronavirus (Covid-19), all Council #112 meetings and activities have been suspended at least until May. Based off of the health of the State of New Hampshire, and the United States as a whole, Grand Knight, Matt Poulin, has made the decision to postpone all scheduled events for the months of March, April and May, with the idea that we will be hard at work in the months afterwards, in our outreach throughout the Capital City of Concord.

Grand Knight Poulin wishes everyone the best of health, knowing that there is nothing more important right now than staying safe, and keeping in mind the best practices in the protection of you and your families.

Please stay tuned to updates here, as well as on our Facebook page and through our direct communications through our e-mail group.

In the meantime, if you know of any Catholic men, age 18 year or older, who would benefit from the good works of the Order, and who the Order could benefit from in our community outreach ... offer them the best opportunity there is ... membership within the Knights of Columbus. Direct them to www.kofc.org/joinus or to the mobile app. linked directly to our Concord Council #112.

The best to you and yours in the coming days ahead.

About Our Council

Council #112 traces its origins back to March 17, 1895 when a group of thirty-nine Catholic men from both St. John the Evangelist and Sacred Heart parishes were granted a charter by the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council. Dennis Donovan served for two years as the first Grand Knight. The Council worked closely in support of four Church's in Concord: Immaculate Heart of Mary on Loudon Road, as well as St. John the Evangelist, St. Peter's and Sacred Heart. Since the Catholic Church has gone through many changes within the State of New Hampshire, the Diocese of Manchester has closed Sacred Heart and St. Peter's Church's, and the two remaining, Immaculate Heart of Mary and St. John's (now Christ The King) are the last two remaining Catholic Church's in Concord, that Council #112 supports, in addition to the Carmelite Monastery on Pleasant Street. Council 112 provides funds for various projects such as memorials, CCD programs, scholarships for local students, tournaments, communion breakfasts, Special Olympics, cancer research, Operation Santa Claus, and visiting hospital patients. Members are active participants in their respective parishes as organists, cantors, lectors, ushers, teachers, and Eucharistic Ministers.

The Knights of Columbus is the world's largest Catholic lay organization, with more than 1.7 million members in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean and the Philippines and Poland. Last year, the Knights donated more than $139 million and over 64 million hours of volunteer time to charity.
