GREENSBORO — St. Pius X Knights of Columbus Council 11101 was recently awarded the Star Council Award, which commends a council that achieves specific goals in furtherance of the ideals of the Knights: Charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism.
This work is achieved through Knights’ commitment to programs and by communicating their activities to both brother Knights and the parish they serve. Pictured are (from left): Ed Calouri, Colin Jorsch, State Deputy, John Joyce, Grand Knight Greg Rachal and Walter Kulla.

MINT HILL — St. Luke Church Council 12832 recently wrapped up its annual “Feeding Families” collection drive of food items for the needy over the holidays, and the most recent collection was larger than ever thanks in part to council treasurer Bill Machold, who asked parishioners to get involved as a family project.
Eight families with 22 family members, along with 10 Knights, collected food for four weeks after Mass. Just before Christmas, these St. Luke parishioners helped the Knights deliver 10,000 pounds of food to needy families and groups, including Catholic Charities Diocese of Charlotte.
