Catholic Volunteer Corps Update
The Daughters of St. Paul have a bookstore in Dedham but their main distribution center is in the convent in Jamaica Plain. It’s a huge facility.
Shaun McKenna and Andy Lawlor, PGK and Zach McKenna went there and moved all of the metal shelving from the first floor to the basement via forklift. On July 12, Shaun, Al Papineau, Bill Killion, PGK, Grand Knight Jerry Alberico, and two members of St. Mary’s who assist with the CVC met at the convent. We disassembled all of the metal shelving (each one 7 feet tall) and there was lots of it. It was dirty, noisy, hard work but we got it all done by early afternoon. This was a wonderful act of charity and the sisters were very appreciative.

Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson says Knights’ efforts follow pope’s call to help world’s poor
Repost from the Pilot
As an international fraternal organization, the Knights of Columbus is well-positioned to follow Pope Francis’ witness of “love for the sick, the suffering and the poor,” said Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson.
That “extraordinary witness” and the pope’s admonition to all to cast aside indifference have “captured the imagination of the world,” he said Aug. 5 at the opening business session of the Knights’ 132nd Supreme Convention in Orlando.
