Our Lady of Hope Clinic - Ultrasound Machine Project

The Knights are leading an effort to raise money to purchase an ultrasound machine for Our Lady of Hope Clinic. The goal is to raise 50% of the funds, and the Supreme Knights of Columbus will fund the other 50%. This will be a large undertaking that will take time. If you are interested in contributing to this initiative, please click here.

Our current Grand Knight is Justin Knapp.
