Baptismal Cross

Baptismal Cross


Among the many services that the Knights of Columbus are involved in is a “Pro-Life” program in which our council gives thanks and congratulations to women who have “Chosen Life” by carrying their babies to term.


Our council acknowledges the parents of the newly baptized of our parish, with a “Baptismal Cross” as a lasting memento of this joyful celebration and as a sign of their commitment to raise their child in the catholic faith. Since the inception of this program on July 2008 our council has presented over 35 baptismal crosses to parish families.
