Council Cooks Pancakes, Raises $1000 for Seminarian

Knights of Columbus Canfield Council 11369 would like to thank all St Michael parishioners and friends who attended the June 2nd Breakfast in the Parish Hall.

Their support and generous donations generated over $700.

A $1000.00 check was presented to our “Adopted Seminarian” William Wainio From St Angela Merici Parish in Youngstown.

William has finished his philosophy classes at John Carroll University and will begin his theology classes this fall at the St. Mary’s Seminary in Cleveland.

He’s an Ursuline High graduate.

William’s uncle Thomas Wainio is one of our brother Knights and a St Michael parishioner.

The Knights of Columbus stand in solidarity with our priests and religious.

This program is part of the “Faith Alive” (RSVP) initiative supported by K of C Supreme in New Haven Connecticut.

Through this program, council and parish families can raise funds to help support seminarians in their area.

In addition to financial support, councils are called to aid their “adopted” seminarian with moral and emotional support.

We ask everyone for prayers for their vocation and vocations throughout the church.

As the strong right arm of the church, the Knights of Columbus is committed to providing moral, financial and spiritual support to future priests and religious at all stages of their formation.
