Bi t er As s e mb l y Meeting Place: Council Meetings: Knights of Columbus Hall 1250 Business Way Lehigh Acres, FL 33936 First Thursday of each month 7:00 PM at the Vol. 217, Issue 1 January 2017 Council Officers Chaplin: Ultrasound Dedication At the September council meeting the Knights of Columbus Council 6265 decided to donate a high definition ultrasound to the Community Pregnancy Clinics and vaginal probe for their mobile unit. It was announced during mass that the Knights of Columbus had begun fundraising for this in support of the Church s and Knights of Columbus Right to Life Charity. Then something amazing happened, with the support of Rev. Dennis Cooney, every organized group in St. Raphael Catholic Church wanted to help and did help. The fund raising goal of $20,000 was met by the end of November and the new Ultrasound, monitor and probe were presented to the Fort Myers Community Pregnancy Clinic at 8660 College Parkway Suite 200, Fort Myers FL 33919, phone 239-689-1543. Bishop Dewane blessed the ultrasound and probe at the dedication ceremony. Grand Knight Doug Blais promised ongoing support from Council 6265. Because the Church was so passionate about this opportunity to save the lives of unborn babies, funds above and beyond what was needed were donated. The council voted to create an ongoing fund to support the Right to Life Charities in our communities. Emaus, the Churches Hispanic group, presented the donations given in the Baby Bottle Drive that will go into the Councils Right to Life fund.
