Aid & Support After Pregnancy (ASAP) Top Rankings

Submitted by: Ed Strach                                               February 17, 2024

Below are the Order wide top rankings for the Aid & Support After Pregnancy (ASAP) through the end of January 2024. For the second year since the beginning of the ASAP program, the Michigan jurisdiction remains a leader in both applications and donations.

Aid and Support After Pregnancy is a featured program to support pregnant women, mothers, and their children, both born and unborn, by serving pregnancy resource centers and maternity homes. Through ASAP, for every $500 a council or assembly donates to a qualifying non-profit pregnancy resource center or maternity home (up to $2,000), the Supreme Council will issue a $100 grant to the same qualifying organization.

Thank you to all councils and assemblies that have made donations to local pregnancy centers and maturity homes. For other councils or assemblies, take the opportunity to donate and build a relationship that at the heart is defending the life of the unborn.

On Saturday February 10th, Brother Knights and friends from throughout the state joined in for the Cross Catholic Outreach Food Packing event at Lansing Catholic High School.

With a great turnout of volunteers showing up to lend a hand in packing 61,848 meals, it was a remarkable day filled with compassion, teamwork, and the joy of making a difference. We are so grateful to everyone who came out and contributed their time and effort to this worthy cause. Together, we are making a positive impact on the lives of those less fortunate.

 

O Lord, bless the work of the hands of our volunteers and donors...may this life-giving food nourish those who are most in need, both in body and spirit. May we continue to spread love and kindness in Your Holy name, one meal at a time.

Amen.

On Thursday, February 8th, Catholics from Metro Detroit and beyond gathered at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament to witness the 'Journey with the Saints.'  The Cathedral, adorned with its majestic architecture, provided a fitting backdrop for this momentous occasion.

Catholics from all walks of life, united by their faith, came together to partake in this extraordinary experience. The 'Journey with the Saints' served as a testament to the enduring power of Catholicism and its ability to bring people together in worship and celebration. As we are about to begin our own Journey into the Lenten season, may this serve as a reminder of the enduring power of faith and the profound influence of saints in the lives of Catholics.
