On June 24, 2022, history was made. The Supreme Court upheld the Dobbs v. Jackson ruling thus overturning Roe v. Wade! While we take a moment to celebrate this historic decision, our fight for life continues!
Aid and Support After Pregnancy (ASAP), describes the Knights of Columbus’ efforts to support pregnant women, mothers and their babies by serving pregnancy resource centers and maternity homes. To better assist these centers and homes, the Knights of Columbus has created the ASAP initiative. The Prince of Peace Knights of Columbus Council 11716 has launched an ASAP initiative to raise funds to support Mater Filius In East Plano, a transitional residence for pregnant women with no other means of support. All proceeds from the K of C Council 11716 ASAP fundraising drive will go directly to Mater Filius to support their invaluable service to our community.
Members of the Prince of Peace Knights of Columbus Council 11716 will be available after all Masses on August 20th and 21st to collect donations for the ASAP initiative to benefit Mater Filius in East Plano. The Knights of Columbus Supreme Council will match a portion of the donations to the ASAP initiative generated by our local Council.
